Ackley is launching the new wines under the Cataclysm brand. “We have always had a deep respect for the Washington wine community,” said Brandon Ackley, president. “This is our home, and we are thrilled to now produce a wine made with grapes from the beautiful Columbia Valley.”
Named after the cataclysmic ice age Missoula Floods that shaped much of the grape growing regions of Washington State, Cataclysm pays homage to the forces that gave rise to one of the most exciting wine regions in the world today. The inaugural release will feature three Columbia Valley wines; a Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Blend and Chardonnay.
All three of the Cataclysm wines were produced for national distribution and will be released next month.
