STORY: Columbia Valley Syrah is really the wine that ‘made’ Two Vintners. Morgan’s conviction that Washington Syrah was and is absolutely among the world’s very best did not align with the apathetic view among wine consumer in 2007. Yellowtail had made its mark and a retaliation against Syrah was palpable. Nonetheless, following status quo was never an ideal held by Two Vintners, so we charged ahead with delicious, world-class Syrah and priced it to move. Morgan wanted this wine to be on every glass pour list around, so we made it impeccably, and from the very best vineyards in the state. We made sure it stayed affordable so that we could get it in the most hands and mouths as possible. The result is 15 vintages straight of 90+ scores and 2 Top 100 placements on lists that encompass the best wines in the world. Really, the humble and delicious Two Vintners Columbia Valley Syrah is everything. It’s the reason that Two Vintners started, and it’s the reason that Two Vintners is still here today.
