Canoe Ridge Estates

Owned by Chateau Ste. Michelle The estate is named after the Canoe Ridge which was formed 12 million years ago when a powerful river of lava flowed across the Columbia Valley. The ancient lava flows followed the Columbia River and left huge layers of basalt behind. Deep, free-draining soils sit on top of the basalt, deposited by great floods from the last Ice Age 13,000 years ago. The soils are a loose, sandy loam scattered with chunks of basalt. Young vines in search of water and nutrients easily establish deep root systemshere. The winery is not open to the public. Their wines are bottled under the Chateau Ste. Michelle label
