Syncline Wine

Syncline Wine Cellars is located along the Columbia River in southern Washington State. Their location, in the eastern Columbia River Gorge provides a unique place for growing wine grapes.

Syncline Wine Cellars' estate vineyard, Steep Creek Ranch, is located on a southern slope on the very eastern edge of the new Columbia Gorge AVA. Directly west of the vineyard and winery is a series of 300-foot cliffs rising up into the surrounding mountains straight out of the Columbia River.

More About Syncline Wine Cellars

Locally known as the “Coyote Wall Syncline” and to geologists as the “Bingen Syncline,” this dramatic feature gives the winery its name. It is at this point that the rainy western Columbia Gorge transitions to the semi-arid eastern Gorge.

Winemakers and owners James and Poppie Mantone specialize in Rhône varietal wines. Of the many wineries started in the last ten years, Syncline has established a reputation for wines with great depth of character that go well beyond the usual.

Syncline Wine Cellars' single vineyard syrahs and mourvedre are exceptional; Rhône style blends are stunning with grace and personality; white wines are perfumed elegance.
