Winery Review: Jordan H. describes his experience with this wine as follows: "It’s quite nice. 8% abv and 73.3 g/L of sugar so it’s quite sweet. Tropical and candied fruits on the nose and some citrus and orange notes coming through. The palate with peach, orange, pineapple. Great food wine with spicy food obviously. Great cause you can have with food and kill the bottle with dessert and still not be drunk."
Wine Folly: (Page 590) Riesling - "Riesling was one of the first wines to become popular outside of Washington state. The variety does well in the cooler growing areas, including Naches Heights, Ancient Lakes, and Yakima Valley. More and more procedures are making dry styles similar to Alsace Riesling. [Meyer lemon, green melon, gala apple, honeycomb, lime.]"
My Review: Pacific Rim isn't one of the brands I've heard of before, yet I did just recently take a deep dive into Riesling wines. Drink This Now by Professor Boyer and Zraly's material for this Geography of Wine course have taught me well. As the, I believe, third most productive wine state within the US, Washington has done very well for a bottle under $15.00. I paired it with an elbow pasta, cheese, and grilled chicken plate for dinner. At first, it didn't taste like wine at all - merely a sour grape juice. Pacific Rim did a nice job with this one.
