'The “Foothills in the Sun” vineyard is at the base of the Blue Mountains on the Washington/Oregon border.  The vineyard is planted with Syrah, Viognier, a little bit of Cabernet Sauvignon and is one of the highest elevation vineyards in Washington.  It sits at 1600 ft. with a gradual western and southwestern exposure.  Temperatures can be in the 90’s and drop almost forty degrees at night which helps to retain natural acidity and freshness in the wines.  The soils consist of deep silty loam, with small amounts of clay, iron and pockets of rocks.'
