Since planting the first wine grapes in the Horse Heaven Hills of Washington state in 1972, the Mercer family has prided itself on growing a solid base of the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal. Over the years we have learned that our rich soil and desert climate are beautifully suited for producing elegant tannin structures and enticing flavor profiles. The ability to grow exceptional wine grapes eventually led to the first vintage from Mercer Wine Estates, located in Prosser Washington in 2005. Today, we still produce mouth-watering Cabernet Sauvignons as well as world class red blends and single varietal wines.
