Washington is located on latitude between Burgundy and Bordeaux, and is excellent for growing grapes for fine wine. Washington has sandy soils that drain well and most of the vines are on their natural rootstocks. Many Washington wineries do not grow their own grapes, but instead purchase grapes and blend them to make their wines. Washington has a number of AVAs, but Columbia Valley, Walla Walla, Yakima and Horse Heaven Hills are the most famous. Columbia Valley is a huge appellation that produces wines made from Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewurtztraminer and Riesling, among others. Walla Walla produces magnificent examples of Bordeaux red varieties and Syrah. Walla Walla wines have loads of fruit and solid tannic structure.
