14 Hands has announced the national
retail launch of its varietal tier of wines which includes Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Riesling. The wines began shipping
nationally in August 2011 and are available for the suggested retail price
of $12.

14 Hands wines are inspired by the spirit of the wild horses that once
roamed the arid, open landscape of eastern Washington. It was here that
these horses â€" measuring a scant "14 hands" tall â€" developed their
legendary endurance, strength, and tenacious spirit. Today, this landscape
provides the perfect conditions for grape growing. Sunny days, cool nights
and loamy-sand and gravel soils produce the premium quality fruit that
allows Winemaker Keith Kenison to craft bold, complex reds and crisp,
fruit-forward whites.

"I take a practical approach to winemaking and let the fruit express
itself," Kenison explains. "I guide the wine to its final destination with
as few manipulations as possible, making every decision by taste because,
ultimately, that's what matters to the person buying a bottle of 14 Hands.”
