==Destiny Ridge Vineyard==
Destiny Ridge Vineyard is the estate vineyard of Alexandria Nicole located in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA near Alder Ridge Vineyards between Champoux and Canoe Ridge Vineyards. First planted in 1998, the 367 acre estate has grown to include more than 258 acres planted with over 17 different varieties including relatively rare varieties like Petit Verdot, Tempranillo, Counoise, Petite Sirah, Mourvedre, Lemberger, Roussanne and Marsanne that are not widely grown in Washington State.〔
The vineyard was planted in collaboration with the Boyles, the Mercer family (original owners of Champoux Vineyard) and noted Washington Rhone Ranger Doug McCrea of McCrea Cellars. When McCrea first saw the site for Destiny Ridge, overlooking the Columbia River with steep rocky hillsides made of basalt, he said he taken back by how much the site resembled the northern Rhône Valley (home to the Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Hermitage AOCs that are noted for Syrah and Viognier wines). But being one of the hottest regions in the state, McCrea, Boyle and Mercer also decided to plant several southern Rhône varieties like Grenache, Roussanne and Marsanne on the rocky slopes with Syrah and Viognier planted in the cooler, sandier soils of the vineyard.〔Christina Kelly ''"(McCrea Cellars:The Sound of the Rhône is Music to McCrea's Ears )"'' Avalon Wine. Accessed: September 10th, 2012〕
While many vineyards in New World wine regions are planted with vines spread widely apart from each other (900 vines per acre being a typical density), the vines at Destiny Ridge are planted close together with a high density of 2000 vines per acre that is more typical of Old World wine regions.〔〔CNBC World ''"(New World Vs Old World Wines )"'' Wine Portfolio. Accessed: September 10th, 2012〕 The Boyles are active in every level of vineyard management for Destiny Ridge with a philosophy that prioritizes balanced crop levels and gentle handling of the grapes, including hand harvesting.〔S.
