Aromas of dried cranberry and fresh raspberry intertwined with spice. On the palate, ripe blue and red fruit, nuances of herbs, cocoa and spice. Debonair and supple in texture with polished tannins. Smart in structure.

Alcohol: 13.9%
Red Mountain AVA
The singular terroir of Red Mountain has attracted winegrowers, viticulturists and winemakers the world over to this small corner of southeast Washington. The region’s sandy loess soils, high winds, southwest slope, low precipitation and intense daily temperature swing create near perfect growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.
However, it’s not the extraordinary terroir alone that’s responsible for Red Mountain’s storied reputation: it’s the people.
Over the course of its 20 years as an American Viticultural Area, a growing community of viticulturists with grit, determination and continued commitment to experimentation have led to fascinating innovations in the vineyards.
Grapes grown on Red Mountain have gone on to become some of Washington’s most sought-after wines, bringing an international spotlight to the region. This is why we say: acclaimed by critics, superior by nature.

Klipsun has earned a reputation as one of Washington’s “First Growth” vineyards. We are driven to craft benchmark wines that express the nuance of our terroir at both its most raw and most refined. Small lots. Uncompromising standards. Sourced exclusively from our Red Mountain property. Each vintage is a testament to the land, the seasons and the meticulous craft that produced it.
Since 1984, we have partnered with Washington’s premier winemakers and provided fruit for some of the most acclaimed wines to come out of our state. What makes Klipsun unique as a vineyard is not one single aspect of geography or geology - it’s everything. Location and elevation. Soil and water. Vision and action. All held in tension and in balance to provide our viticulturists with the perfect canvas upon which to master their craft. Decades of careful cultivation and stewardship enable us to produce grapes that realize the fullest potential of this land and demonstrate why Klipsun on Red Mountain is one of the most intriguing and distinctive places in the world to grow grapes.
Beginning in 2016, we set out to produce the truest expression of this place. A single vineyard wine that showcases exactly what makes the fruit grown here exceptional. Each vintage thereafter is a testament to Washington’s most celebrated vineyard and our passion to craft the most distinct, thrill-seeking, elegant, and finessed Red Mountain expression imaginable.
