Moonbase Cellars
Moonbase Cellars produces wines from Washington's Walla Walla Valley, a region defined by warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils that shape distinctive fruit expression. The winery's portfolio centers on Rhône and Bordeaux varieties suited to the valley's continental climate. Max Q Funk Vineyard Syrah demonstrates the region's capacity for structured, age-worthy reds built on dark fruit and spice. Les Collines Vineyard Viognier showcases the aromatic potential of white Rhône grapes in this terroir—floral and stone-fruit driven. Max Q Reserve, a Cabernet Sauvignon–Syrah–Merlot blend, reflects the winery's approach to balancing power with finesse across classic varietals. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines, affirming their technical merit within the broader Washington wine landscape.
