Walla Walla Valley

In the spring of 2019, Marilyn Zerba, the light and spirit of Zerba Cellars, passed away. In honor of a kind and generous soul that touched the lives of so many, we offer this very special commemorative red blend. Sourced exclusively from the very first vines planted by Marilyn and Cecil Zerba at our estate Winesap Vineyard, this wine is a true reflection of Marilyn’s singular personality; vibrant, approachable, with an impression that lingers long after it’s gone.

Zerba Cellars is an Oregon winery located in the heart of the Walla Walla Valley. We produce approachable, food friendly wines that showcase the fruit without compromising the wine’s structure and overall balance. We have three estate vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley. Each was planted to take advantage of the Walla Walla Valley’s unique soil types and elevations. Our Jon Cockburn Ranch Vineyard is located in the Southeast corner of the valley, in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. Dad’s Vineyard is located in the “Touchet Beds”, near the state line. Winesap Road Vineyard is located in the rocky floodplain of the Walla Walla River.

One sip of our 2019 Wild White Blend and you’ll find yourself cracking the same goofy grin as the Zebra on the label. 

Another addition to our expanding portfolio of single-vineyard Winesap offerings and a stunning example of what Cab can achieve amidst the ancient cobbles of the Walla Walla River. 

Pour, swirl, inhale deeply, and witness the onset of spring unfolding in your glass!  

Red Blend

Italian for “balance,” Equilibrio represents our best efforts to discover new and exciting ways of blending the fifteen different red varieties we cultivate across our three estate vineyards. Our 2018 offering tempers the overtly sweet, jammy fruit of Zinfandel with the elegant perfume and exotic spice of Grenache. Blended in equal measure, the result is an impossibly smooth, extraordinarily nuanced wine of power, depth, and above all, balance. 

A traditional blend of Southern Rhone varieties, our 2018 GSM presents our estate-grown Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre as a seamless harmonic trio. 

If you have not yet experienced the visceral pleasure of drinking a varietal Malbec, then you may want to take a seat. Our 2018 rendition is an ideal ambassador for a variety whose fruity impact has been known to knock wine lovers off their feet. 

Merlot; easy to pronounce, easier to drink.  

Perhaps most associated with the “M” in the time-honored GSM blends of the Southern Rhone, Mourvedre has finally begun to emerge from the shadow cast by the better known “G” and “S”.  Make no mistake, when left to its own devices, Mourvedre can truly astonish! 

Our fifth offering of 100% Winesap Vineyard Syrah, the grapes in this wine were grown in the ancient stony flood plain of the Walla Walla River. Wines from this newly designated viticultural area carry a remarkably distinct signature that has already captured the attention of the wine media and wine-drinking public alike.  

Historically, winemakers often co-ferment the red grape, Syrah, with a small amount of the white grape, Viognier. Here at Zerba Cellars, we put a twist on this technique by co-fermenting Viognier and Syrah with the Italian grape, Sangiovese. This results in a varietal Sangiovese unlike any other.  

Perhaps the crown jewel of our estate Cockburn Vineyard, the Syrah grape is truly at home in this temperate, high-altitude site. The secret has long been out about the world-class Syrahs emerging from the Walla Walla Valley and our 2018 Cockburn Vineyard Syrah is a definitive example. 

For those who like an earthy wine, grab your glass and your shovel and dig in!  

Merlot Blend

One sip of our 2018 Walla Walla Valley Zinfandel and you’ll find yourself wondering why this delicious varietal is so rarely seen in the Northwest.  

Rosé

The perfect antidote to the oppressive summer heat. Our 2020 Sangiovese Rose is barrel fermented lending a pleasant perception of creaminess in the mouth with a clean, refreshing finish. 

No need to bury your nose in the glass, this one can be smelled from across the room!

Produced using traditional Burgundian methods, our 2019 Chardonnay is truly world-class. 

If you enjoy the rich, creamy character of classic white Bordeaux, then you’ve come to the right place.  

In keeping with the fun, easy-drinking aesthetic of the wines released under the Bowlus Hills label, our 2019 White Wine is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser.  

Aperitif, dessert wine, patio pounder; our 2019 Wild Pink Sweet Rosé is a wine for all occasions. Representing a field blend of all seven red varieties planted at our Dad’s estate vineyard, this wine was produced by pressing whole clusters under minimal skin contact and then arresting the fermentation when the sugar/acid balance was just right. The result is a delicately sweet, vibrantly crisp Rosé that is sure to please!
