SAN FRANCISCO, March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Third Leaf Wines is excited to announce the addition of Waters Winery and 21 Grams to its ever-growing wine portfolio. Waters, from Walla Walla Washington has long been recognized as one of the first Washington "Cult Wines" started by Jamie Brown in 2005 with 21 Grams recognized as one of the top red wines from the state.
Producing around 5,000 cases annually, Waters and 21 Grams represent the best of what Walla Walla has to offer in the Ultra-Premium wine segment.
"As we grow our company, it is important that we add wineries that are high quality, unique and represent some of the best wine regions in the world. Waters and 21 Grams does that and perfectly complements our other projects from South Africa in Mulderbosch, the Finger Lakes in Empire Estate and Japan with ENTER.Sake," says Alex Pagon, Managing Partner of Third Leaf Wines.
Jamie, who along with Greg Harrington M.S., founded both 21 Grams and Wine of Substance, has also been involved in projects such as Glen Fiona, Dunham Cellars and Pepperbridge Winery, is equally excited about the new partnership. "I have been working with Third Leaf on the operations side for over a year now, so it made sense to join their stable of brands. It offers me the time to focus on production and winemaking, my biggest passions," notes Brown.
Jamie is unapologetic in his ethos and winemaking practices. Being a musician, he is familiar with the request to "play the hits" which, in the wine world, translates to creating powerhouse cabernets, a default that Jamie guides away from with Waters wines. He instead opts for an honest and natural expression of the land which he has spent his life interpreting. This transparency has caught the eye of many a sommelier who appreciate the restraint of peripheral elements, showcasing both earthily brash and spellbindingly herbal expressions of the land.
Bob Guinn, Vice President of Third Leaf Wines adds, "Being from Seattle, I have seen first-hand the quality that comes from the region and Waters is just that, quality. We will focus our sales and marketing efforts on solidifying the Northwest and adding by the glass opportunities to restaurants around the country. This is a great addition for us."
Together, Third Leaf Wines and Waters aim to celebrate Walla Walla for the world class wines that hail from this locale.
