Zillah, WA · $$
In 1996, Scott found 76 acres of land located on a hilltop in the Yakima Valley. At that moment, he realized that his 17-year career in finance was coming to an end. The following year, he started the vineyard by planting ten acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah grapes. Sheridan Vineyard's first harvest was in 2000. That year, Scott bottled a Syrah and a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc now known as L'Orage. Today, with the property fully planted, Scott continues to focus on sustainable farming practices and keeping yields low as the vineyard matures. All of this is driven by his passion to create wines of richness while maintaining a sense of beauty and balance.
“I had a really good experience wine tasting at Sheridan with my girlfriends. The place was empty it being a weekday in dry January. The service was exceptional. I don’t remember our server’s name but she was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. They have a couple different price points on wine and they were all good. Loved the $90 Syrah haha! The $30 wines were good too. I would go out of my way to make a return visit.”
“I brought some friends for a wine tasting as I have enjoyed their wines purchased retail. We all enjoyed the wines as well as the service. We ordered the charcuterie board that complimented the wines were were tasting. One friend joined the wine club and we all bought wine. All of the wines were prices less than at Total Wine. It was a great afternoon.”
“A fabulous experience! We have always included Sheridan on our annual wine ride, but hadn't been to the new location (previously home to Maison de Padgett). Jenny met us at the hitching post to ensure it was suitable for our ponies. We then went up to the garden where she had a table set up for us in the shade and proceeded to spoil us with wonderful service. I can't say enough good things about this experience. The wines are very nice and the space is gorgeous! It's a very elegant, yet comfortable place to taste and the variety of seating options means it's suitable for tasting in any weather. The only thing I would recommend is adding an option for gratuity on cards. It would be wonderful to reward this type of service, and people don't consistently carry cash anymore (luckily we had a little!).”
“Wines with very nice character at fairly reasonable prices. New location has a large tasting room, beautiful garden, and outdoor seating area. Friendly service! I particularly enjoyed the Reigning Fire and Boss Block Can Franc, apparently named after the wine maker's wife :-) They even have a Napa Cab that they make up here! Tasting fee is $15 but waived with purchase.”
“It only gets better. Again a great experience sharing Scott's excellent wines and his knowledge as a wine maker. The graciousness and hospitality of Jenny and Big John rounded out a wonderful visit. Not to mention the bonus of the 4 cases of Sheridan wines our group took home!”
