Zeron Winery is a small family estate on Washington’s Red Mountain AVA, making limited-release reds in small lots.
Small lots, close attention. Our estate vineyard grows the Cabernet Sauvignon at the heart of our wines, shaped by Red Mountain’s heat, wind and lean soils into wines with structure and the backbone to age. Our blends pair estate Cabernet Sauvignon with fruit from selected neighboring sites. Alongside them, Ellie makes small-lot reds from vineyards we select, including Award-winning wines.
What we make.
Our focus is Cabernet Sauvignon, grown on our estate vineyard: 4,800 Cabernet Sauvignon clone 08 vines on 3 acres at 720' elevation. Red Mountain’s heat, wind and lean soils give it depth, firm tannins and the structure to age. Our 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is made entirely from this vineyard, and our blends pair our estate Cabernet with fruit from selected neighboring sites. Alongside them, Ellie makes Rhône-style and Bordeaux-style reds from those sites, including award-winning wines.
About Us
Ellie Zeron’s journey to winemaking began far from the vineyards of Washington. A chemical engineer in Dallas, Ellie discovered a new passion after spending time in Napa and Sonoma, where the craft of winemaking inspired her to pursue a different path.
In 2012, she earned her winemaking certificate through UC Davis Extension, turning that passion into a profession. Four years later, Ellie and her husband, Jamie, took the next step in their journey, purchasing land on Red Mountain, Washington—an extraordinary place to grow grapes and craft distinctive wines.
Today, Ellie leads both the vineyard team and winemaking, bringing together her scientific background, hands-on experience, and deep appreciation for the craft. With Jamie’s support, she continues to build their vision around the land they call home and the wines it inspires.
Small-lot wines crafted with passion, showcasing the power, elegance, and distinctive terroir of Red Mountain.
Wow! What a great and wonderful surprise!
We stopped in to check it out with family that live in the area and were welcomed with an old world hospitality that is hard to find. The owner/ vintner was welcoming, informative, and gave us a tour of her journey into winemaking. It felt like we came in as customers and left as friends. The wine is extraordinary and in the top tier of Red Mountain wineries.
