I am from: Columbia Valley, Washington

The story: Rob and Deborah started Barnard Griffin with a small truckload of borrowed fruit, fermented in rented cellar space. Ready to create a story of their own, together they have worked tirelessly to keep their dream flourishing. Today, Barnard Griffin remains an integral piece of the Washington wine scene, producing exquisite examples of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and more, representing the region's unique terroir in graceful fashion.

Why You'll Love Me: This is a classic expression of Washington Cab -- it's rich and  opulent on the nose, bursting with plum, vanilla cherry and raspberry. The palate is subtle, with smooth, balanced notes of baking chocolate, spice and oak. A wine full of flavor, this is an ideal partner for your next dinner party.
