Background

With more than a century of winemaking and farming experience, High Heaven Vintners believes in growing great grapes first to make amazing wine. Located in Eastern Washington State, High Heaven Vintners is inspired by the natural backdrop that surrounds their vines. High Heaven Vintners wines are estate grown and bottled. This means 100% of the grapes are grown or controlled by the winery.

TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

Vineyards are located in the "rain shadow" formed by the Cascade Mountains. This unique cloud and rain barrier protects the vines from harsh element and creates a sunny, dry climate ideal for grape growing.

Winemaking & Aging

Merlot grapes are harvested from McNary Vineyard, a cooler site in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA where grapes ripen slowly. This develops ripe berry flavors and mature, soft tannins. The juice is aged for 18 months in stainless steel vats.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red with purple undertones. Cherry, blueberry, and prune aromas weave in between complex spiced vanilla, cocoa, and sweet oak notes. Pensive, elegant, smooth, and well balanced with round tannins and pronounced dark fruit flavors.

Best Buy

The key component of this wine is its acidity, which hits like the icy slap of a winter’s rain. While its combination of dark raspberry and blueberry aromas and flavors isn’t surprising, the wine’s side notes of black olives, rosemary, rye bread and spicy olive oil baffle in a good way. Best Buy. —M.A.
