"{Winemaker Rich] Cushman makes mostly wines from Eastern Washington fruit. His syrahs are superb, and he's one of the few making good domestic sangiovese. And perhaps the most consistently great viognier I've ever had is from Viento."
Robert Mayfield, Statesman-Journal, 4/21/05.
Viento wines are made in Hood River, Oregon by Rich Cushman, Hood River native and Oregon winemaker for over twenty years. Our family works together to make these limited production wines in space leased from Pheasant Valley Winery.
All of our wines are carefully crafted to emphasize balance, fruit character and the vineyard. Grapes are sourced from several exceptional vineyards in the Columbia Valley and Gorge that are growing varieties beyond the ordinary. The name Viento, Spanish for “wind”, was chosen to reflect the constant vibrancy of the wind in the Columbia River Gorge. The label reflects the creation and the movement of the wind and the rich color of exceptional wines. The label artwork is from Albrecht Durer’s "The Holy Trinity," 1511.
We can be reached at 503-434-9587 for all inquiries or email.
