After 35 years of making wine in Washington State, Brian Carter knows quite a bit about the state’s viticultural depth and range. He’s spent years in the vineyards and winery, so he knows that to create balance in his wines he must have balance in the vines. Brian Carter Cellars sources more than 22 varietals from over a dozen different vineyards throughout central and eastern Washington. "In warmer years, our cooler sites typically yield better fruit and in cooler years, the warm site vineyards tend to shine," Brian says. "By sourcing fruit from both types of vineyards we can always find gems and create wines of balance in the fruit, acid, and tannins."
