Manu Propria

Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon rooted in volcanic terroir and precision.

Manu Propria operates in Washington's Yakima Valley, the heart of Columbia Valley's premium wine region. The winery focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal that thrives in the valley's warm days and cool nights, developing structure and depth. The Ex Animo Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates the region's capacity for serious red wine, earning recognition from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. Yakima Valley's volcanic soils and continental climate create conditions suited to Bordeaux varieties, and Manu Propria's approach reflects that terroir-driven sensibility. The winery's name—Latin for "by one's own hand"—suggests a hands-on philosophy in the vineyard and cellar.
