Red Mountain Review: "Most Coveted Grapes in Washington State"
"An official AVA since 2001, today Red Mountain grows arguably the most coveted grapes in Washington State. The AVA has a total of 4,040 acres, but only between 600-800 of them are cultivated because of limited access to irrigation. Limited supply and high demand means that vineyards on Red Mountain can sell their grapes for over 300 percent over average market value, some up to $8,000 per ton. And land on Red Mountain, which used to sell for $200 per acre, can now be purchased at the bargain price of $50,000 per acre."
