Mercer Estates Winery

We visit Mercer every time we are in Prosser. Their Riesling and Merlot are very good. The ambiance is nice and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. There is a tasting fee if you are not a member, but I love their wines, so I am now a member.

Mercer does a lot of things right – they have a great location and awesome tasting room… but I just didn’t enjoy their wine as much as I was hoping to. The staff was not as friendly as a lot of other wineries around Prosser, either. I guess I’ll try again next year.

Have been to Mercer many times and have enjoyed the wine and visit. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly — the tasting room elegant. Best Pinot Gris in the region.

Prosser is bombarded with great wineries. When we were in town over President’s Day weekend, up-​and-​coming Mercer Estates wasn’t yet open. They opened in April ’09, and it was our first stop this time around. They don’t have highway signs quite yet, but they’re at the end of Lee Rd, in the company of fellow wineries. There is a $ 5 tasting fee, and they also offer wine by the glass. Our tasting included 4 whites and 4 reds, and they also offered a taste of their unfermented sauvignon blanc «grape juice». The tasting room was spacious and elegant with tables and chairs for those who want to rest or visit, and colorful artwork on the walls. The service was friendly and attentive with two servers pouring from behind the bar. The wines were all equally enjoyable and well-structured…my favorites being the 08 Pinot Gris and 07 Cabernet Sauvignon.
