THE VINEYARD

The name Two Mountain was inspired by majestic Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams that form the breathtaking backdrop of our 26-acre estate vineyard.  Located in the Rattlesnake Hills region of the Yakima Valley, Washington state’s oldest appellation, our family has owned and farmed our land since 1954.  

We planted wine grapes in spring 2000 and currently grow eight grape varieties - Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Syrah, Lemberger, Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional.

The Cascade mountain range provides a wonderful rain-shadow effect on our vineyard, which is situated on a south-facing slope 1,198 feet above sea level.  We have a very warm site, with an ideal 190 day growing season and annual precipitation of only approximately six inches. Warm days and cool nights provide the Yakima Valley with near-perfect growing conditions, allowing the both white and red grape varietals to fully express their classic characteristics.  During the last ice age, the great Missoula Floods deposited ancient volcanic sediment across the region, creating a rich blend of sandy and rocky soils that shape the distinct character of our vineyard.  Truly our award-winning wines are a reflection of the perfect location and climate in which they were grown.
