Portrait Cellars is a small family Winery. Our red wines are grown exclusively at our 12 acre vineyard on Red Mountain near Benton City, Washington. We planted the vineyard in 1997 and call it "E & E Shaw Vineyards" for Ed and Eve Shaw. Congratulations on winning a Platinum in Wine Press Northwest's 11th annual Platinum Judging, in which we determine the best of the best in the Great Northwest.
This year, we judged 538 wines from Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Idaho. All the wines had won gold medals from any of about 30 competitions we track throughout North America. This was our largest competition yet, and our judges selected just 75 wines for Double Platinum and Platinum.

Services
All our wines have a 10% discount for case orders. We age our red wines for 32 months or more in predominately new French and other European oak barrels and typically release them 3 to 4 years after harvest. We believe this patient aging before release helps make our red wines exceptional. Check out our upcoming releases.
Our 12 acre vineyard is planted with the 3 major Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, in the world famous Red Mountain Apellation. It was planted for us in 1997 by Eve's brother, Fred Artz. It's planted on a 9' X 6' spacing, bilateral cordon trained, and is spur pruned to produce approximately 10 lbs. per vine or about 3 1/2 tons per acre.
