In 2008 Jessica approached Tom Merkle about working together to create a wine that featured his grapes. A partnership was formed that became Wautoma Wines – made of the best Cabernet Sauvignon from Wautoma Springs Vineyard.
Eight years later Rachel Mercer joined the duo and the three set their sights on increasing production and opening a Tasting Room. In December 2019, Wautoma Springs Tasting Room in Prosser, WA, opened. Since then Wautoma Springs has grown to include Shae Jenkins as Wine Club Manager and a small, but mighty team of wonderful tasting room staff.
The epitome of a boutique winery, producing extremely small-lot, hand-crafted wines from people who know the business inside and out. This isn’t a venture capitalist’s or a lawyer’s winery – not that there’s anything wrong with that. We know the soil. We know the vines. And we know how to make good wine. Our story is in every bottle.
