Cote Bonneville

Côte Bonneville in Yakima Valley was established in 1992 when Hugh and Kathy Shiels pulled out an apple orchard on their property and replanted it with grapes. The 45-acre DuBrul vineyard is at 1,200 feet, steep, south-facing and rocky. Besides supplying grapes for Côte Bonneville wines, the vineyard is a source for many Washington producers, including Betz, DeLille and Woodward Canyon. The Shiels’ daughter Kerry is winemaker for their own label, and the estate makes a range of wines from Cabernet Sauvignon blends and Syrah to Riesling, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc Rosé. Both Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator have given ratings in the mid-90s to the estate’s wines.
