98% Syrah, 2% Petite Sirah
AVA - Horse Heaven Hills
• Established in 2005. Naturally bounded on the north by the Yakima Valley AVA and on the south by the
Columbia River.
• Proximity to the Columbia River creates 30% more wind while moderating temperature extremes, providing
steep south-facing slopes for optimum vineyard locations and providing well-drained, sandy-loam soils.
• Proud source of the 1st, 2nd & 3rd “100 point” wines in the State of Washington
Vineyard - McNary Vineyard
• Our 2017 Boomtown red wines hail from McNary Vineyard, perched right along the mighty Columbia
River in the Southeast corner of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Beautiful fruit and balance are the hallmarks
of these wines, and with the addition of roughly 10-15% of our Dusted Valley estate fruit, the result yields
wines with polish, concentration and varietal typicity that over deliver time and again.
• With temperatures moderated by the Columbia River, the McNary Vineyard is a cooler site compared to its
vineyard neighbors in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. The cooler climate lends itself to longer hang times and
phenolic ripeness which lead to old world sensibilities with bright core Washington fruit and natural acidity.
• This unique site is situated directly on the Columbia River in sandy soils on a basalt cliff overlooking the
McNary Dam.
• The vineyard was planted in 2012 with subsequent plantings through 2017
