History of Rockwell Brown Wines

With a great desire to try and produce our favorite style of wine in the likeness of the great Bordeaux flavors...

George H. Brown, Jr. and Elizabeth Rockwell Brown have been Bordeaux aficionados for decades.  Living in Washington State and watching the wine industry develop over the past twenty years, the Browns felt there was a need for a traditional Bordeaux style blended red wine made with the magnificent fruit that could be grown in the hot desert-like climate of Eastern Washington.  Working with their close friends, Tom and Anne-Marie Hedges, the owners of Washington's largest family owned winery, the Browns began experimenting with blends of traditional grape varietals and arrived at their first vintage, the 2005, which has been a great success.
