Encompassing approximately 3,400 acres, Red Mountain is part of the Yakima Valley and sits on a southwest-facing slope east of the Yakima River.
Red Mountain is the smallest, most focused viticulture region in the Northwest.
Currently, only 700 acres of wine grapes are planted in this area, but potential exists to expand to 1,700 acres. Government approval allows the industry to distinguish the quality fruit produced on Red Mountain and differentiate itself among global competitors. Wine grape varietals include mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet franc as well as smaller amounts of Syrah, Sangiovese, and Lemberger.
