About Brown Label wines:

Each vintage, we select a series of exceptional single-vineyard, single-varietal wines that showcase the unique terroir of Washington State. These "Brown Label" wines are a celebration of place, reflecting the distinct character of the land and the dedication of the growers who cultivate it. Grown from carefully chosen rows of vines rooted in thoughtfully farmed land, these bottles are born from a deep respect for the history and viticulture of each site. Our partnerships with talented farmers, built on trust and shared passion, allow us access to some of the most spectacular grapes the state has to offer. These wines are all about relationships – with the land, with the growers, and with you. Released twice a year, in November and February, these terroir-driven wines offer a true taste of Washington's diverse and exceptional vineyards.

About Olsen Brothers Vineyard:

The Olsen family's agricultural roots run deep in the Yakima Valley, where they've been farming since 1980. Founded by brothers Dick and Larry, this multi-generational family farm, now managed by their sons Martin and Leif, cultivates a diverse range of crops, including hops, apples, cherries, and wine grapes.  Located northeast of Prosser and Benton City, the Olsen Vineyards benefit from a high-elevation, cool climate, particularly suited to producing exceptional white wines like their acclaimed Chardonnay. With diverse soils and mostly south-facing slopes, this vineyard exemplifies the family's commitment to quality and their deep connection to the Yakima Valley.
