Special Notes About Region and Varietals

• Yakima Valley, Washington — One of the Pacific Northwest’s most acclaimed AVAs, known for warm days, cool nights, and volcanic soils that create wines of balance, purity, and freshness. Meek Vineyard’s Rhône varietals, like Grenache and Syrah, develop vivid red fruit and spice with refined tannins.
• Pontin del Roza Vineyard — A family-run gem in Yakima Valley, prized for Carménère that expresses deep color, black fruit, and herbal intensity. Its well-drained soils and moderate climate lend both power and poise to La Bête.
• Horse Heaven Hills, Washington — Perched above the Columbia River, this AVA’s steady winds and rocky terrain shape concentrated, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon with structure and grace — the backbone of La Bête’s bold character.
