Northstar

Merlot and Cabernet from Walla Walla Valley's warm, mineral-rich terroir.

Northstar produces wines from Washington's Walla Walla Valley, a region defined by warm days, cool nights, and well-drained soils that favor Bordeaux varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blends, grapes that thrive in this corner of the Columbia Valley. Premier, a Merlot, stands as the flagship expression. The Walla Walla Valley Red Blend—a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot combination—and the Walla Walla Valley Merlot round out the core range. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. The region's continental climate and volcanic soils yield wines with structure and depth, characteristics evident across Northstar's offerings.
