Founder Mark Ryan McNeilly got his start in restaurants and developed an admiration and love for wine. Purchasing his first grapes in 1999, most of his production for the next handful of years was mostly by himself and in friends' garages. Now, 26 years later, Mark is the 14th largest winery in Washington state with two tasting room, six production labels and is still a real champion for Washington wines. Most of his grapes come off Red Mountain, but he is constantly exploring and discovering around Washington and Oregon.
One of Mark's first two labels released in 1999 (Dead Horse was the other), Long Haul is a gorgeous Merlot blend made from the best vineyard sites on Red Mountain and Yakima Valley. A blend of old and younger vines from two unique climates, in the glass you'll find a rich. supple and fruity wine, with a fresh finish.
