McKinley Springs
McKinley Springs produces wines from Horse Heaven Hills, a warm pocket of Washington's Columbia Valley known for ripe fruit and structured reds. The winery's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon anchors its portfolio—a wine that reflects the region's ability to ripen Cabernet to depth and balance. Alongside it sits a Viognier, the aromatic white varietal that thrives in the Horse Heaven Hills' sun-exposed slopes, and a Malbec that captures the region's capacity for dark-fruited intensity. These three wines have drawn the attention of major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. Horse Heaven Hills' elevation and diurnal temperature swing create conditions for wines with both ripeness and acidity—a signature of the subregion that McKinley Springs' selections demonstrate.
