Vacation Ideas: Hell Canyon Winery, Caldwell, Idaho, USA
Hells Canyon Winery is located at 18835 Symms Road, Caldwell, Idaho 83607 with a telephone number of 208-454-3300. The winery is an ultra premium boutique winery in the beautiful Snake River Valley of Idaho. Their vineyards were founded in 1981, which makes them some of the oldest vineyards in Idaho. The grapes they grow in their vineyards have produced some award winning wines such as:
• Chardonnay • Syrah • Cabernet • Sauvignon • Merlot • Cabernet Franc
Their total production is about 3000 cases per year.
Hells Canyon vineyards were planted in 1981 on the sunny slope above the banks of the Snake River, overlooking the Owyhee Mountains. Elevation of the site is 2700 feet. The protected Treasure Valley is influenced by marine air flowing from the Pacific along the Columbia and Snake rivers that moderates the mountain climate enough for grapes.
Hells Canyon wines are made in the traditional manner of fermenting in small oak barrels and are always made as food wines.
Examples of some of their wines:
Chuck Wagon Chardonnay (2004): Made in the style of French Chablis, aged in oak only 3 months, maintaining its bright fruit, minerally, and crisp palette. Quintessentially dry, serve it with fresh crab, oysters on the half shell or shrimp sandwiches
Seven Devils Red (2003): House signature meritage blend, Seven Devils, marries their best grapes. 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc.
Deer Slayer Syrah (2005): Signature black cherries rose and a breath of wild sweet earth.
Bird Dog White Getting Warm: Refreshing fruity expression of 100% Chardonnay, tropical and citrus flavors.
Retriever Red Natural Maximum Big Water, Big Heart: 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc.
