Ambassador Vineyard

Red Mountain AVA

Grower: Dick Boushey

Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah

We waited a long time before deciding to secure fruit from the Red Mountain AVA, but when we heard that grower extraordinaire Dick Boushey was managing this vineyard, we were so excited to see what he could do with fruit from this highly coveted AVA. Hot, dry and windy, the Red Mountain AVA produces some of the best grapes in Washington State, often distinguished by their big tannins and powerful dark fruit. Located next to some of the most famous Red Mountain sites, such as Ciel Du Cheval and Col Solare, Ambassador is our youngest vineyard, and our fruit comes from its steep sloping south block. 2009 was the first vintage in which we brought in fruit from this superb site, and we look forward to watching this vineyard as it begins to mature.
