“The venerable Seven Hills Winery continues to do a solid job.”
The Wine Advocate, October 2009

“My goal as winemaker for Seven Hills Winery is to make intensely structured, balanced wines expressing the distinct terroir of their vineyard origin. I believe the soil, climate and grapes in the northwest appellations afford the opportunity to make wines ranked among the best in their class. I have been fortunate in my many years as Seven Hills winemaker to have developed fruit sources where I harvest from the same rows-the same vines each year. This is a precious resource for us, knowing the vines and working closely with our growers, we can craft wines attaining the full potential of the grape.”
Casey McClellan, owner Seven Hills Winery

Winery

Seven Hills Winery is located in the heart of Walla Walla, in Washington State. Though it has built its reputation quietly, Seven Hills is one of the region’s oldest and most respected wineries. Founder Casey McClellan has played an important role in both the viticultural and winemaking history of the community. As a fourth-generation farmer, Casey worked alongside his father in the early 1980s, planting Walla Walla Valley’s Seven Hills Vineyard. As a winemaker, Casey has guided Seven Hills Winery, creating wines that have emerged as benchmarks for excellence in the Northwest.
Over the course of two decades, Seven Hills Winery has been part of many firsts for the Walla Walla Valley appellation (AVA). Recognized for its Bordeaux-varietal red wines, Seven Hills has bottled more vineyard-designate Cabernet Sauvignons and Merlots from the AVA than any other winery. At the same time, Seven Hills Winery has helped pioneer the rich diversity of the region, and its potential for producing an array of stellar red and white wines.
In addition to playing an influential role in defining the character of Walla Walla Valley winemaking, Seven Hills Winery has also explored the promise of many of the Northwest’s other great appellations. To achieve this, Seven Hills Winery has built long-term relationships with some of the finest grape growers in five of Washington’s nine winegrowing appellations. Properties such as Klipsun, Ciel du Cheval, Melrose and Seven Hills Vineyard—sourcing fruit from the same coveted old vine blocks and rows for years.
Using grapes from these storied vineyards, Seven Hills Winery has developed an acclaimed style notable for balancing structure and grace. Highlighting unique terroirs, restrained oak, bright acidity and pure varietal flavors, these wines are recognized as some of the finest wines coming out of the Northwest and reflect a distinctly old-world palate. Seven Hills has earned a reputation for delivering an exceptional level of quality at a remarkable price—making wines that are among the great values of the North American wine world.
