Rooted in the principle that great wine begins with an exceptional location, Capital Call Vintners started with an investment in premium vineyards located in the Pacific Northwest. Our wines showcase fruit produced on our three estate vineyards: Windhorse Vineyard, Wheatfield Vines Vineyard, and Carbondale Vineyard. Our love for the land and a passion for farming gave rise to our goal of creating delicious wines that honor the unique characteristics of this renowned region and the unparalleled growing conditions and the unique terroir of the Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Gorge AVAs.
