Wine Spectator: Jackson Family Wines Expands To Washington, Plans New Brand

Jackson Family Wines, the Sonoma-based firm behind Kendall-Jackson, La Crema, Penner-Ash, and others, has purchased a 61-acre vineyard in Washington’s Walla Walla Valley. The company plans to develop a new Washington wine brand there, to be overseen by winemaker Chris Carpenter.

Located in Mill Creek in an eastern section of Walla Walla, the vineyard was sold by Abeja, which still owns another 56 acres of the property and makes Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The purchase price was not disclosed.

The deal marks Jackson Family’s first foray into Washington state and comes following several recent acquisitions in Oregon. The company produces more than 6.1 million cases of wine per year. Wine Spectator has the full story.
