Sheridan Vineyard is just outside of the town of Zillah, above Yakima Valley. It was started in 1996 when Scott Sheridan decided to leave his career in finance and buy the 76-acre site that would become Sheridan Vineyard. Greer still oversees all farming and winemaking. The estate’s first release was a 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend called L’Orage, and the L’Orage remains the estate’s most acclaimed wine. Sheridan also produces Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Sheridan’s wines have earned scores in the high 90s. Wine Advocate has noted that the “intense Scott Greer is one of Washington’s rising stars. His wines are all sourced from estate vineyards which are just now starting to come into maturity…. There is really no mystery as to what Scott Greer is doing at Sheridan; total attention to detail, a great vineyard, impeccable farming, and non-interventionist winemaking.”
