Sagemoor Vineyards planted Bacchus Vineyard in 1972 on a bluff above the Columbia River in the White Bluffs AVA. For more than five decades, it has supplied fruit to some of Washington’s most celebrated wineries including Abeja, Devona, L’Ecole, Long Shadows, Walla Walla Vintners, Woodward Canyon and others, earning a reputation for a distinctive character that winemakers return to year after year. The weekend also marks the full release of the 2022 Stars in a Row Cabernet Sauvignon, Sagemoor’s flagship wine sourced entirely from Bacchus Vineyard’s Block 3, one of Washington State’s oldest Cabernet Sauvignon plantings.
“The pieces resembled stars of the industry, fruit, winemaker, vineyard story, and my long-held dream of this wine being made with Sagemoor on the label. We felt the stars were aligned and thought ‘Stars in a Row’ was how the story should be told from then on.” — Kent Waliser, Brand Ambassador
“Block 3 of Bacchus Vineyard is the kind of site winemakers dream about. Being able to showcase it in Stars in a Row is a tremendous privilege.” — Aryn Morell, Director of Winemaking
