Wallula
The Wallula Gap is the prominent notch
between the Horse Heaven Hills on the West and the foothills
of the Blue Mountains on the East, through which the
Columbia River flows. The Wallula Vineyard overlooks
this extraordinary geologic feature. Its soils are composed
of a mix of glacial marine sediments left by the ancient
Missoula floods which were backed up by the narrow Wallula
Gap. Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are sourced
here. The vineyard is owned by the Den Hoed family and
on site management is by Brett Calhoun.
