Our Story

A nod to our
heritage

Cairdeas · pronounced “car-diss” · Irish Gaelic for friendship, goodwill & alliance

We pull our inspiration from the Rhône Valley of southern France and make wine in that style using Washington fruit. What started in a West Seattle garage in 2009 found its home in 2012 above Lake Chelan — and in 2021, under the copper roof of the Cairdeas Barn.

The through-line never changed: warm hospitality, honest winemaking, and the belief that a bottle is best shared among friends.

The Wines

Small lots,
big-hearted

Rhône varietals, Washington fruit, and a winemaker’s restraint. Each bottle is made in counts you can measure in barrels — and meant to be opened, not hoarded.

2022
Caisleán An Pápa 2022
Rhône Red Blend/Yakima Valley

Caisleán An Pápa

“Castle of the Pope” · 2022

Our homage to Châteauneuf-du-Pape — Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre grown on sun-warmed stones. Black cherry, garrigue, crushed pepper, and a finish that lingers like good company.

Pairs with — Lamb, wild mushroom, long conversation

2022
Finial 2022
Syrah-Driven Red/Columbia Valley

Finial

the crown of the roofline · 2022

Named for the copper crown of our barn. Dark, brooding Syrah with violet, blackberry, smoked plum and a savory, stony spine. Built to age, impossible to wait on.

Pairs with — Grilled ribeye, blue cheese, a cold night

$58
2023
Viognier 2023
White Rhône/Columbia Valley

Viognier

the Rhône’s golden white · 2023

Honeysuckle, white peach and apricot blossom over a cool mineral line. Aromatic and generous, yet dry and crisp — the bottle that disappears first on the patio.

Pairs with — Crab, soft cheese, golden hour

“We joined for the wine and stayed for the people. Every release feels like a letter from a friend who happens to make exceptional Syrah.”

“The Caisleán An Pápa out-drinks bottles twice the price. I’ve stopped buying Châteauneuf and nobody at my table has noticed.”

“That copper-roofed barn at golden hour, a glass of Viognier, the lake below — it’s the reason we drive over the pass every summer.”
