The top leadership of Washington state’s largest wine producer is being tweaked roughly a month after it was bought by a longtime lower Yakima Valley farm family. 

David Bowman will be Ste. Michelle Wine Estates’ new CEO while Anna Mosier will serve as president and chief financial officer, according to a release. Prior to the changes, both served as co-CEOs of the company. 

“David is a true visionary with deep expertise in the wine industry, and Anna brings exceptional operational and financial leadership,” said Court Wyckoff, CEO of Wyckoff Farms and Coventry Vale Winery, in a statement. “Together, their strategic and operational guidance will be critical to Ste. Michelle’s future success. We are committed to supporting these talented leaders as they advance Ste. Michelle’s portfolio of iconic Northwest wine brands and champion the future of Washington’s wine industry.” 

Bowman joined Ste. Michelle in 2021 as leader of its California properties while Mosier came on board in 2024 as CFO and chief supply chain officer. 

The Wyckoff family of Grandview bought all of the brands, facilities and vineyards of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates in December, making it the first Washington state-based owner of the storied winemaker in 50 years. 

Ste. Michelle has struggled in recent years along with the rest of the broader wine industry. It closed its tasting rooms and wine clubs for 14 Hands and Columbia Crest at the end of 2024. That followed the winery announcing in 2023 plans to significantly cut its grape contracts through 2028. In 2024, Ste. Michelle sold its interest in Benton City’s Col Solare winery to co-owner Marchesi Antinori after a 30-year partnership.
