Washington State
Washington State is considered one of the most exciting wine states in the USA – often unjustly overshadowed by California. The vineyards east of the Cascade Mountains benefit from a continental climate with hot days and cool nights, which maintains a balance between ripeness and freshness. This results in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines of remarkable structure, as well as aromatically precise white wines like Riesling – a spectrum that clearly distinguishes the region from other American wine-growing areas.
Washington State stands for quality that's worth its price – without the premium of big names. At Vinoscout, you'll find a selection of 14 wines from this Pacific Northwest, ranging in price from €7.99 to €29.80, offering something for both beginners and seasoned wine explorers.

Washington State – powerful red wines from the US Northwest
Washington State is the most important wine-growing region in the USA after California – and one of the most exciting. The heart of the region lies east of the Cascade Range, where a continental climate with hot summers and cool nights creates red wines that offer both power and freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the region's great strengths: full-bodied, structured, with ripe fruit character and pleasant depth – without the sometimes heavy hand of some Californian wines.
What to expect at Vinoscout
Our range from Washington State includes 14 wines between 7.99 and 29.80 EUR – and showcases two of the state's most famous names: Château Ste. Michelle and Columbia Crest. Both wineries stand for reliable quality at fair prices. Whether it's the accessible Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon for around 12 EUR or the more elegant Château Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the region's most renowned single vineyards – here you will find Washington State at various quality levels.
In addition to the red wines, the range also offers a Chardonnay from Château Ste. Michelle – a good starting point if you want to get to know the white side of the state.

If you like American red wines but are looking for a change from California, you have come to the right place. Washington State delivers wines with real character – and at Vinoscout, you get a solid cross-section of the region without having to search for long.
