Looking for quality fruit for your wines? Here are just a few comments from winemakers about our grapes. |

" In 2002, wine made from Aldercreek Fruit quickly rose to the top in my blind
tasting of five different vineyards. In 2003 Aldercreek produced grapes that were even more
intense and flavorful. Tasting the wine in barrels from this vintage has convinced me that they
will contribute to our wine long into the future. No doubt this is one of Washington's top vineyards.

" I have made wine from Aldercreek - Windy Ridge Vineyards for the past four
years and just love the fruit that is produced. They pick when I want it picked and that is
very helpful.
I chose the Syrah from Aldercreek to be my WINEMAKER SELECT for 2002. It is a big bold smooth fruit . The 2003 fruit is very ripe and is showing good things in new barrels. I am very excited in anticipation for when bottling comes around." Larry Krivoshein, Winemaker/Owner Best Of Show 2003 Tri-Cities Wine Festival Russell Creek Winery |

Based on your terroir - topography, soil, and microclimate - there is every reason to believe the same grapes planted at your site will be equal in quality to those at Mercer... Tom Hedges |

This site does not have deposited soils but what many refer to as ancient soils with a higher water holding capacity. This factor alone could influence the quality of the grapes from this site. Charlie Hoppes |

The Alderdale region has been recognized for consistent quality wine grapes, particularly red varieties. The slopes, soils and elevations at Aldercreek and Windy Ridge Vineyards are well suited for premium quality Washington Wine Grapes Colin Morrell |
