Our Story
14 Hands is inspired by the unbridled spirit of the wild horses that once freely roamed eastern Washington and the Columbia River Valley.
Measuring a modest fourteen hands in height—a “hand” equivalent to the width of one’s palm—these tenacious horses would travel down from the hills every day to drink from the mighty Columbia River and graze along the riverbank, then retreat back to cool off at night.
The Landscape
Washington’s wild horses have become living symbols of the adventurous nature of the American West. The essence of these horses lives on in the vast landscape that has sustained those determined enough to work it for generations. Loamy sand and gravel soils require a strong and determined grapevine, and our acclaimed vineyards revel in Washington’s world-class terroir.
Craftsmanship
With the fruit from the hardy vines, our Prosser winery handcrafts big, fruit-forward reds and crisp, juicy whites that pay tribute to the legend of the region. Like the untamed horses we honor with our name, our wild and wonderful wines pack a lot of character into each bottle.
