Horse Heaven Hills
Established in 2005
Dead Canyon Vineyard
Dead Canyon Vineyard, a pristine 120-acre site adjacent to Champoux Vineyard on the Mercer family farm, remained unplanted until 2006 when the Mercer and Hogue families announced their decision to plant Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, the red wines that will form the backbone of Mercer Estates' Horse Heaven Hills wines. Warm days, well-drained silt loam soils, south-facing slopes, and the moderating influence of the Columbia River characterize this AVA know for its quality red wines.
