Quiddity
Quiddity produces wines in Washington's Columbia Valley, drawing on the region's warm days and cool nights to craft Rhône-style blends and single varietals. The winery's flagship Meliora Red Blend combines Mourvedre, Counoise, Cinsault, Grenache, and Shiraz—a structure that reflects the complexity of southern French tradition adapted to Washington terroir. Audentes, a Shiraz expression, and Ubuntu, built on Grenache, round out the portfolio. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these releases, with Meliora achieving particular recognition among prestige critics. The winery's focus on Rhône varieties positions it within a broader movement in Columbia Valley toward Old World grape selection and blending philosophy.
