Dominio IV is on the south side of the Columbia Gorge, known for its northside, Washington State wineries. Not as well known, and insider gems, are a few wineries around The Dalles, Mt Hood, and Mosier. Dominio IV is on an east facing slope in Mosier, Oregon (Columbia Gorge). The vineyard is planted to Tempranillo, Syrah, and Viognier. Dominio IV also make Pinot noir from fruit purchased from the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
