I will probably add a category for Columbia Gorge. There isn't a ton of winemaking happening in the Gorge, but what is taking place is always very interesting - like Maryhill on the Washington side and the Pines Vineyard on the Oregon side. I also like Edgefield, although I haven't been there in a long time. This is the first I've heard of Cathedral Ridge before. I'll be heading down to the Gorge for some whitewater rafting this summer and will have to check them out. Great suggestion! I will probably add a category for Columbia Gorge.

There's a fantastic one called Cathedral Ridge that also has a surprisingly amazing syrah outside of the Carneros region: http://www.cathedralridgewinery.com/ You might also try Columbia Gorge wineries.

The Mourvedre is from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard and the Syrah is from Ranch at the End of the Road. Both vineyards are on Red Mountain. The TTB (formerly the ATF) requires that for a wine to be labeled as a varietal wine then wine must be composed of at leased 75% of a variety to call it a variety. Therefore, being law abiding a citizen, we listed the percentages of each grape variety and did not label the wine as a "Syrah". Thank you for the posting!
