Tapteil
Tapteil produces wines from Columbia Valley, Washington's expansive growing region. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Argus Bone Dry White Riesling, a precise interpretation of the region's signature white varietal; Spilya Vineyard Syrah, drawing from a single vineyard site; and Cabernet Sauvignon, anchoring the red program. Wine Enthusiast has rated across the range, with the Riesling earning particular recognition at 92 points. The Syrah and Cabernet follow at 88.5 and 88 points respectively. Columbia Valley's continental climate—marked by warm days, cool nights, and volcanic soils—shapes the character of these wines, from the mineral-driven whites to the structured reds that define the appellation.
