If you’re into bold, fruit-forward red wines and good values, then you’re going to love the Columbia Valley AVA, which is located on the eastern side of Washington State and a small part of Oregon. Columbia Valley often enjoys a long, consistent growing season which allows it to produce some of the boldest red wine varieties around, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, and even limited plantings of Petit Verdot, Mourvèdre, and Petite Sirah.
