Paso Robles winemaker Andrew Jones felt called to work with this soil of the Cascade Mountains and in the humble Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley in Eastern Washington. Though this prime land bears exceptionally choice wine grapes, bursting with body and flavor but bearing more structure than California wines, it has yet to receive the accolades that other noted regions claim. Determined to bring the bounty of Washington across the country, Jones struck up a deal with local winegrowers. Once they are plucked from the vines in Washington, the grapes embark on a journey south to Paso Robles, California, where they are cellared, blended and bottled.
