"You can make bad wine from good grapes, but you can't make good wine from bad grapes. And you have great grapes, my friend." Gino Cuneo, Gino Cuneo Cellars
Since its inception Coyote Canyon Vineyard has consistently produced award winning wine grapes. We harvested our first vintage in 1997, and Columbia Crest used them in its Grand Estates Cab, earning a 90 from Wine Spectator. We've racked up awards from Ste. Michelle since then, and our record reflects our committment to growing world-class wine grapes.
We  have earned Vineyard Awards every year from 2000 through 2010 in recognition of our grapes being used as an integral part of 90 point (or better) scored wines produced by Ste. Michelle.
