Barrage Cellars

Barrage Cellars is a winery based in Woodinville, Washington, known for producing high-quality wines from the Yakima Valley and Red Mountain AVAs. Their portfolio includes Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, with each wine showcasing distinct characteristics shaped by the unique terroir of their vineyard sources. Notably, they source grapes from Boushey Vineyard in the Yakima Valley, which provides fruit with excellent structure, character, and acidity due to its cooler climate and soil composition. Red Willow Vineyard, another key source, offers warmer conditions that yield fruit with excellent structure and acidity. Barrage Cellars' winemaking style is characterized by aging their wines in a mix of new and once-used French cooperage, which contributes to the complexity and balance of their blends. Their tasting experience is not explicitly described on their website, but they do offer wine sales online, including options for shipping within Washington state. The winery's focus on showcasing the unique characteristics of each vineyard site results in wines that are both elegant and long-lasting, as evidenced by their 2017 Yakima Valley Merlot, which features layers of red fruit, currants, and graphite with a big structure and tannin mouthfeel.
