“Historic producer Woodward Canyon won a pair of superlatives at the 2018 Walla Walla Valley Wine Competition. Best white wine of the judging was the Woodward Canyon 2017 Washington State Chardonnay, while the iconic 2014 Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon was voted as the best Cab. Sager Small, son of owners Rick Small and Darcey Fugman-Small, is a recent graduate of College Cellars and now works in the vineyards and cellar at Woodward Canyon. Their 2014 Artist Series #23 Cab also earned a gold medal.”

Correction, it was our 1987 "Dedication Series" Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley (not 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon, Yakima Valley) that was the first Washington State wine to be in the Top 10 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 list.
Sullivan, Sean, Wine Enthusiast, December 19th, 2017
Honored to be included as one of five Washington State wines on Wine Enthusiast's best-of-the-best-list.
"One of the state's best bottles year after year". Ranked for the third year in a row and only one of four wines from Washington State.

Cabernet That Reigns Supreme Sullivan, Sean, Seattle Met, September 13th, 2017 "Since the winery’s founding in 1981, Woodward Canyon has consistently created some of the state’s highest quality and most age-ready wines; this latest example is especially great, filled with both fruit and tannins."

A look back with Leonetti Cellar’s Gary Figgins and Woodward Canyon’s Rick Small Gregutt, Paul, Walla Walla Union-Bulletin, August 7th, 2017 "Just 40 years ago there was no Walla Walla wine industry. But Gary Figgins and Rick Small — a couple of friends, who’d grown up here — had been planting some vines and getting together on Friday nights after work to play guitar, drink wine and dream a little."
Nice to be included at#22! 101 Best Wineries in America 2017, The Daily Meal "[ Woodward Canyon] produces someof its state's best cabernet sauvignons - and there's lots of strong competition - and a range of chardonnays and merlots that can match character with anything produced in America."
