Wit Cellars
Wit Cellars produces wines from Washington's Yakima Valley, a region defined by its continental climate and alluvial soils that favor bold red varieties. The winery draws fruit from distinguished vineyard sites including Olsen Vineyards and Elephant Mountain Vineyard, crafting expressions of Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Olsen Vineyards Mourvèdre demonstrates the winery's command of this Rhône variety, while the Petit Verdot and Elephant Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon showcase the depth and structure that Yakima Valley terroir imparts to Bordeaux varietals. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter, reflecting their place within serious wine discourse. Wit Cellars' portfolio centers on the dark-fruited, tannic architecture characteristic of the region's continental growing conditions.
