Cadence Wines

Ben Smith and Gaye McNutt of Cadence Winery are former Microsoft employees who caught the wine bug back in the '90s and are known for their dinky, dinky, dinky amounts of extremely nice red wine blends. Sort of "junior Chris Camardas" (Andrew Will Winery) they do three or four single vineyard reds each year, striving to express the terroir of each vineyard.

Cadence is dedicated to showcasing the finest vineyard sites in Washington State. Their Bordeaux-styled blends are their interpretation of the best qualities reflected in Washington’s greatest vineyard terroirs. Ben and Gaye believe blending creates a balanced wine of greater character than the individual components. Their wines express the power, intensity or elegance of the vineyard reflected in the characteristics of the varietals on the vineyard site.
