About Rotie Cellars
Rotie is Sean Boyd's northern-Rhone argument: the geologist-turned-winemaker builds Cote-Rotie-styled Syrah-Viognier co-ferments and southern-Rhone blends from Walla Walla and Rocks District fruit, wines whose savory, floral conviction made the label a Rhone-geek touchstone. The Rotie Rocks estate tasting room delivers jaw-dropping, near-360-degree views of the Walla Walla Basin, its glass-walled space seeming to float above the surrounding vineyard.
From its valley home the house pours proof that Washington's basalt speaks French fluently. Old-world blueprints, Rocks District stone.
