First Impression
The wine list at Loren reads like a love letter to Washington state — Walla Walla, Horse Heaven Hills, and Columbia Valley names stack up fast, and the commitment to the Pacific Northwest is real and refreshing. For a Spokane steakhouse, this is exactly the kind of regional pride you want to see. The overall feel is upscale and curated, even if it doesn't push too far outside its comfort zone.
Selection Deep Dive
Loren leans hard into Washington's heavy hitters — Leonetti and Figgins are here, which immediately signals the room is serious about the state's best. Long Shadows Vintners and Sagemoor Vineyards round out a strong local anchor, and the house Premiere Rouge from Horse Heaven Hills adds a proprietary touch that works well in this context. The list doesn't wander much internationally, and if you're hunting for Burgundy or Barolo, you'll be disappointed — but that's kind of the point. This is a Washington wine program, and it owns that identity without apology.
By the Glass
By-the-glass options land somewhere in the 10–20 range, which is a reasonable spread for a steakhouse of this size. The rotation doesn't appear to be particularly aggressive — this feels more like a stable, set program than one that's constantly refreshing. You'll find enough to drink well without diving into the bottle list, but the real action here is in the bottles.
Toil Oregon Pinot Gris — null
Toil is a Long Shadows side project that consistently overdelivers for the price — crisp, food-friendly, and a smart counterpoint to the red-heavy list at a steakhouse. Exact pricing wasn't confirmed, but it typically retails well under $20, making any restaurant pour at a reasonable markup a genuine find.
Loren Premiere Rouge Horse Heaven Hills Red Blend
Most people will reach for the Leonetti and call it a day — fair, but don't sleep on the house blend. A proprietary red from Horse Heaven Hills at a steakhouse that actually understands the AVA is rarely a throwaway wine, and this one carries the restaurant's name for a reason.
Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon
Leonetti is legitimately great Washington Cab, full stop — but it's also one of the most recognized names on any Washington wine list, which means restaurants know exactly what they can charge for it. At a $$$$-tier steakhouse, expect a markup that turns an already-expensive bottle into a genuine splurge. Drink it at home where the price is honest.
Figgins Estate Red Wine + Dry-aged prime cut steak
Figgins is the Leonetti family's flagship estate wine — structured, dark-fruited, and built for exactly this moment. A dry-aged steak's intensified, nutty beefiness needs a wine with enough weight and tannin to stand up to it, and Figgins brings both without overwhelming the plate.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Loren is a reliable destination for Washington wine done with real conviction — the producers are legit, the focus is tight, and the setting does the list justice. Just go in knowing you're paying upscale steakhouse prices for the privilege, and order accordingly.
