Blended Wine - A Creative wine JOURNEY

Brian carter cellars

The first winery in Washington State to focus exclusively on European-style blended wines.  Winemaker, Brian Carter, has studied microbiology at Oregon State University and attended the University of California-Davis School of Enology.  Brian has been instrumental in propelling Washington State wines to international status.  At a competition between Bordeaux and U.S. wines, Brian’s 1983 Paul Thomas Cabernet outscored most of the wines, including a Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.

Brian has been twice awarded "Winemaker of the Year" by Washington Magazine and was extremely honored to be selected Vintner of the Year by his peers for the 2007 Auction of Washington Wines.  Brian is also the only three-time recipient of the Pacific Northwest Enological Society’s GrandPrize.
