Northwest Totem Cellars

Washington reds: Cabernet, Merlot, and thoughtful Bordeaux blends.

Northwest Totem Cellars produces red wines from Washington, drawing on the region's capacity for structured, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Elerding Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon represents the winery's focus on varietal expression, while Low Man Red—a blend of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon—demonstrates a more complex approach to Washington's red wine potential. The winery's Merlot rounds out a portfolio centered on the dark-fruit character and tannin structure that define the region's finest offerings. Wine Enthusiast has rated the winery's releases, affirming their technical merit across the range.
