Four Feathers VINEYARD
Four Feathers Vineyard is a hot vineyard site in the Columbia Valley AVA, conventionally farmed with no cover crops. Vertically integrated and family owned, Four Feathers farms over 3,500 acres of wine grapes.
The business began in the 1880s when the great-great grandparents of current company president, Mark Zirkle, moved from Virginia to the Yakima Valley in Oregon. The vineyard has continued to grow over the years and farms throughout easten Washington from the Oregon to Canadian borders.
Four Feathers is a sprawling, multifaceted vineyard with established plantings that produce classic varieties with powerful, old-cru stylings.
As McNary Vineyard’s “big brother”, Four Feathers is deeply established in the Washington Wine industry, and it shares qualities of the neighboring, famed Cold Creek Vineyard. The wines produced from Four Feathers range are beautiful, aromatic whites to powerful, classical reds.
