We are a small, family owned and operated winery bringing together three generations to make great wine.  We are first and foremost a family, knit together by blood and marriage.  Our family is diverse in skills, talents and interests, but we all have a passion for great wine and each other!

Our winemaking philosophy is to produce premium, limited quantity, handcrafted wines.  We source the highest quality grapes and allow them to naturally transform into bold and flavorful wines that are true to their varietal character.  Stylistically, our wines resemble those found in Southeast France and North/Northwest Italy, combined with a distinctly Washington flair.

A large part of our joy comes from meeting others who share a love for wine and the winemaking process.  We look forward to sharing the fruits of our labor with you!

Dry Falls Cellars in the Press...

Seattle Wine Awards 2010 Recognizes Dry Falls Cellars Wines: Double Gold - 2008 Sangiovese Gold - 2008 Malbec Bronze - 2008 Cinsault	MID-COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE March-April 2010 excerpted from Malbec Makes Its Move Washington's Next Great Wine written by: Steve Bjerklie Dry Falls 2008 Wahluke Slope Malbec, $28 "This Malbec exhibits the sheer aroma of cocoa, coconut, and almonds, followed by dark cherry and smoky spice. The rich bold taste makes this perfect with beef. The finish references almonds and black raspberries and is wonderful with dark chocolate and a good book."
WINE PRESS NORTHWEST Winter Issue 2009
2008 Cinsault Rating: OUTSTANDING! Review: For the second straight vintage, this tiny family operation in Moses Lake earns our top rating with this Rhone variety off Rosebud Vineyard. Delicate and nubile describe its perfume of sensuous strawberries, plump blueberries, satiny raspberry and moist forest floor. It saunters onto the palate similar to a fresh and fruity Pinot Noir, seductive with those same fruits, then joined in the midpalate by cherry pie and a bit of tartness in the farewell.	2008 Malbec Rating: EXCELLENT! Review: It's a short drive from Moses Lake to Mattawa for Jim Englar, which is a good thing considering he lives and works in Boise. An affinity for oak shows in this release, starting with aromas of vanilla bean, French-roast coffee and black cherry. Dark strawberries and cherries battle each other on the palate before giving way to bittersweet chocolate, more coffee, tomato paste and some tannins that will marry well with a blackened steak.
2008 Semillon Traditionelle Rating: RECOMMENDED! Review: Grapes off one the Slope's oldest sites - Rosebud Vineyard - went to this small winery at the old Moses Lake airport. Aromas of pineapple, pears, starfruit and citrus turn tropical on the palate. The finish of figs and late acidity make this particularly memorable.
