interesting wines for wednesday

Domaines and Estates had Pacific Rim wines out.. a offshot of bonny donny who headed by randall graham is one of my heros in the wine and a wonderful wordsmith.

2006 Pacific Rim Dry Riesling minral and flint on the nose, light flavor missing some nervosity? or tension. nice intro to washington riesling though.

2006 Pacific Rim Chenin Blanc best of the bunch. pretty yellow color, mineral and honey mellon. not a sweet as california chenin but not as pretty as loire riesling.

2007 Pacific Rim Sweet Riesling soft aromas of stone and lime, soft sweetness and even though it says sweet not as overwhelming as some german and california riesling

Pacific Rim Riesling Wallula Vineyard 2007 a single vineyard wine from the Horse Heaven Hills Vineyard... with pretty pineapple aromas on the nose it surprisingly didnt have a lot to give in the mouth.. dry and blunt...
