Les Collines
Les Collines (“The Foothills”)
Vineyard is aptly named. Located at the foot of the
Blue Mountains, and adjacent to the Oregon border, the
site is one of the most picturesque in Washington. The
soils here are deep wind blown Loess (pronounced “luss”).
This site was also developed by Norm Mckibben and partners,
and is managed by Norm’s son Shane. Our Syrah
and Cabernet Sauvignon were planted in 2000. A Merlot
block, planted in 2003 is not yet bearing. We are excited
about the strong site expression of coffee, bitter chocolate,
and meaty flavors we are finding to be common to both
the Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Please visit the Les
Collines website for more information.
