The Apex of Washington Wine
Apex joined Yakima Valley's pioneering winemakers in 1988, with its original production facility in Sunnyside, Washington under the ownership of the Alhadeff family and famed winemaker, Brian Carter. Known as a super-premium label, its strengths garnered repeat acclaim in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. Apex joined the Precept Wine family in 2008, and we build upon that legacy today.

Our winemaking team believes Apex has the best of both worlds: New World Washington State fruit and his commitment to Old World-style winemaking. The use of French oak for a buttery Chardonnay and bold, round reds for which Apex is beloved results in cellar-worthy wines each year.

Production happens in two places: on-site at our Alder Ridge Winery next to our estate vineyard, where meticulous hand-sorting and processes such as open fermentation optimize these small-lot gems, and a dedicated aromatics winery in Prosser, Washington, where Apex's Sauvignon Blanc comes to life each year. With a relentless pursuit of perfection, we're certain you'll enjoy the Apex of Washington Wine!

The following is a reply from Apex Cellars to our question – "Are your products American Made?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
