Spring Valley is in Walla Walla. It was founded in 1993 when Shari and Dean Derby planted grapes on property originally farmed by Shari’s grandfather. The first vintage was the 2001 Uriah, a Merlot-based blend. In 2007 the estate purchased additional vineyards, bringing the total to 109 acres. The winemaker is Serge Laville, a native of France’s Northern Rhone Valley. The estate makes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and blends.
