August is Washington Wine Month (not to be confused with Taste Washington Wine Month, which takes place in March).
Senior Editor Nick Stock traveled to Washington earlier this year to taste 401 wines, taking our haul of Washington wine notes on the JamesSuckling.com site to nearly 1,000.
Top producers such as Cayuse, Leonetti and K Vintners continue to produce sleek, elegant wines, but many lesser-known, smaller producers have been coming out of the shadows in recent years, releasing bottles that prove how deep Washington’s wine credentials run.
To celebrate the amazing strides being made by both the established and newer names in this wine state, we’ve pulled out the best Washington wines we’ve rated over the years below.
Happy Washington Wine Month!
