Our Philosophy
Specializing in ultra premium wines in the heart of the Walla Walla Valley
Kontos Cellars is a 1000 case winery that focuses on ultra premium Bordeaux varieties grown in the Walla Walla and Columbia Valleys. We develop one flagship blend (Alatus) each year, and then focus on letting the varietals speak for themselves. We believe that blending the same variety between vineyards and using a very extensive French/American oak program creates wonderful complexity, while allowing each grape to showcase it’s own inherent character. Working closely with vineyards such as Pepper Bridge, Seven Hills, Les Collines, Boushey and Stone Tree has continually given us beautiful fruit that is truely a cut above.
“A great wine maker will always remember a particular year by what was given to him, and what he did with it....In wine, and in life.”
