Dynamic white wines from Washington State

An introduction to Washington

Our old-world connection

Washington is located at nearly the same latitude as some of the top French and Italian wine-growing regions. Vines have thrived here for nearly 150 years. Thanks to the long sunny days and cool nights, Washington's diurnal shift creates ideal temperatures for growing grapes.

A dynamic state

Jaine grapes are selected from sustainably grown vineyards in Washington State, a wine region unlike any other in the world. Here, miles of vines stretch across 19 diverse AVAs to produce a broad range of thriving white wine and rosé varietals.

Grown in the Columbia Valley

The Columbia Valley is home to 50,000 acres of vines within 19 distinct AVAs. Contrary to the reputation of the Pacific Northwest, the valley only gets six inches of rainfall a year—as much as the Gobi desert. Our long and consistent growing season produces complex, yet vibrant wines of world-class varietals ranging from Chardonnay to Sauvignon Blanc.

The Jaine vineyards

Jaine focuses on single vineyards across the Columbia Valley. Vines grown in Ancient Lakes, Royal Slope, White Bluffs, and Wahluke Slope AVAs are deeply vibrant and expressive in nature.

Who We Are

Ali Mayfield

Winemaker

Ali Mayfield has led winemaking for Jaine since the 2022 vintage, bringing nearly two decades of experience and a deep commitment to small-lot, handcrafted wines. A graduate of Walla Walla Community College’s acclaimed viticulture and enology program, she trained under the late Stan Clarke and went on to refine her skills at Long Shadows Vintners, Corliss Estates, and Tranche Cellars, collaborating with renowned winemakers including Gilles Nicault, Kendall Mix, and consultant Claude Gros.

As consulting winemaker at Foundry Vineyards, Ali’s debut 2011 Chardonnays received scores of 92 and 94 (Editor's Choice) from Wine Enthusiast—some of the highest ratings earned by a female winemaker for Chardonnay in Washington State at the time. Her 2011 Stainless Chardonnay was also named one of Wine Enthusiast's “Top 100 Wines” in 2013.

Ali approaches winemaking with a meticulous, vineyard-first philosophy—hand-selecting fruit and overseeing every detail with care and curiosity. “Constantly striving to be better, pushing your boundaries, taking risks... that's how you create beautiful wines,” she says.
