On the Chalkboard

We love the fun, whimsical school drawing used on our labels. Recognizing the schoolhouse as the heart and soul of our brand, we began looking for a singular way to set Perigee and Apogee apart from our core line of wines.
A wonderful photograph of the schoolhouse, taken shortly after it was built in 1915, hangs in our tasting room. We chose to honor this heritage by featuring it on the label of these two esteemed Walla Walla Valley vineyard focus wines.

Vineyard Terroir

Seven Hills Vineyard and Pepper Bridge Vineyard are two extraordinary vineyards, just ten miles apart. These vineyards share almost identical viticultural practices, yet the differences in soil, elevation, rainfall and temperature result in wines with their own distinctive personalities. Seven Hills Vineyard, planted in loess, and Pepper Bridge Vineyard, planted in flood deposits, exemplify the diversity of premium wines found in the Walla Walla Valley.
