Ackley Beverage Group, a family investment company for the Northwest wine industry, announced that they are adding to their portfolio of wine brands with the launch of Cataclysm, a new collection of wines from Washington state. Named after the cataclysmic ice age Missoula Floods that shaped much of the grape growing regions of Washington State, Cataclysm pays homage to the forces that gave rise to one of the most exciting wine regions in the world today. The inaugural release will feature three Columbia Valley wines; a Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Blend and Chardonnay. All three of the Cataclysm wines were produced for national distribution and will be released next month.
