Pip & Plow
Merlot
Making great wine takes a lot of time, dedication, and hard work. Pip + Plow is named to honor that process, from planting the pip (the grape seed) to plowing at the vineyards, to harvesting and fermenting, the wine process is a craft that thrives on quality and perfect timing. Winemakers everywhere work from pip to glass to bring wine-lovers a quality bottle of wine. This wine comes from the eastern side of Washington, one of the most exciting new regions in the country. It’s supple and full-bodied with ripe tannins and a subtle acidity. This 100% Merlot is a great expression of Washington winemaking, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

WINE REGION:
Washington
With 18 recognized AVAs, Washington is the second-largest wine-producing state in the United States. Most of these AVAs are located in the east, centered around the valleys of Walla Walla, the Columbia River and Yakima. The grape varieties that thrive here are numerous: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris all continue to make increasingly compelling wines. Washington wines thrive in dry, semi-arid conditions far from the Pacific Ocean and are protected from the Pacific Northwest rain shadow by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Washington owes its unique terroir to the historic Missoula Floods, which swept through the region 10,000 years ago, stripping away the earth and replacing it with sandy soils from modern-day Utah, Idaho and Montana.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Pip & Plow
Pip & Plow was created as an homage to the hard work that goes into making wine. From planting the vines to plowing the soil, there is a great deal of labor most people never see. Great wine comes from quality grapes, well-tended vineyards and experienced winemaking. They carry the memory of the entire vineyard to your glass, and Pip & Plow honors those who get them there.
