he Bunnell Family Cellar specializes in small handmade lots of wine from Rhône Valley grape varieties including Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault and Viognier. Our “vins de l’endroit” (wines of a place) showcase exceptional vineyards in the Columbia Valley. “Vins de l’esprit” (wines of the creative spirit) are unique examples of the art of blending. Please visit our Wines page to peruse our selection of vineyard designated Syrahs, Mourvedre, and Viognier, as well as our Rhône style blends and recently released Grenache. There you will find descriptions, tasting notes, and other information about our wines.
Our wines have been celebrated in a number of esteemed publications, including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Press Northwest, and Northwest Palate. We welcome you to browse our Acclaim section, read these outstanding reviews, and learn more about our achievements in winemaking.
