Slightly darker yellow than a sauvignon blanc, this riesling is full of acidity--grapefruit in particular, which isn't my personal favorite. Short finish.

Fresh, light, and lively. The sweetness doesn't overwhelm the palate either.

Pleasant, definitely sweet, but carried by ripe fruit and moderate acids. Some streaks of honey enliven the midpalate and continue on through the clean and sappy finish. Just a hint of diesel suggests some flavors yet to emerge. This is a very solid, well-crafted effort. 1 Note

A blend of Riesling, Chenin blanc and Gewürztraminer, this is an all-purpose, pleasing white blend, aromatic and lightly phenolic, with apples and pears and a hint of spice. The residual sugar is just over one percent. 1 Note

A low-alcohol, high-acid, moderately sweet Riesling with far more complexity and elegance than you usually find at this price level. The fruit tastes of orange candy and tangerine, boosted with a little hint of honey. 1 Note

This unusual blend of grapes from both Washington and Oregon shows that each state can profit from the other. The Oregon grapes give more structure, acid, and delicate spice notes; while the baseline Washington fruit—melon and passion fruit—is bright and tangy and annotated with citrus andtangerine. 1 Note

Pacific Rim is a Riesling specialist, but makes a limited amount of Chenin Blanc; clearly a labor of love. Rare attention is given to this sadly degraded tasting room grape; here it has a chance to express more of its thrilling complexity. Bone dry and loaded with lemon, grapefruit and melon fruit, this adds floral hints and sweet hay in the nose, while balancing its young, leesy flavors with bright acids. 1 Note

The wine, though true to variety, is approachable and soft, not oily. Round and fruity, with 1.7% residual sugar, this lush, forward style will meld comfortably with Asian fare. 1 Note
