Where the Walla Walla Valley meets the embrace of rolling hills, lies a mystical place known as Charmstone Vineyard.
With its uneven surface of volcanic basalt, this parcel of our estate was often dismissed by conventional wisdom as inhospitable for vineyards. The soil is sparse, the temperatures extreme, and the winds harsh.
But it is here, amidst the rugged, rocky terrain, that a magical transformation has taken place, defying all conventions and bringing forth the most extraordinary grapes.

DEFIANT III, LIMITED RELEASE
Some say fate brought you here. With only 125 cases produced from our estate vineyard, Defiant III is a dark and enchanting red wine with juicy notes of ripe black cherry and blueberry complemented by savory flavors of cured meat and leather.
Each wine tells the story of this vineyard and carries the essence of the vineyard's magical soil and whispers of the mystical creatures who we suspect have long safegurded its secrets.
Icy winds that harken Spring frosts.
Shaped by ankle-turning terrain. Every grape, a story of perseverance.
Profound character and minerality only The Rocks can conjure.
There's something magical here.
I can feel it.
~ Winemaker Bobby Richards
