Robert Parker's Wine Advocate says: "Dave Larsen learned his craft as an amateur winemaker with the Boeing Wine Club before starting his winery in 1989. Because of his relatively early start he was able to gain access to top vineyard sources and then take advantage of them in the winery."
Soos Creek produces powerful Cabernet Sauvignons, a Merlot-Cabernet blend named “Sundance” and a Bordeaux blend that includes Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot called “Stampede Pass.” The grapes are sourced from the Ciel du Cheval, Champoux, Charbonneu and Pepper Bridge vineyards. Established in 1989, this small family winery has developed a loyal following for their handcrafted wines.
