Not to
really beat this one over the head, but an article in the new Summer 2012 issue
of Winepress Northwest confirms: “The Pacific Northwest is Riesling country.” 
The
magazine tasted 130 Rieslings (only 35 of which, like ours, with a residual
sugar percentage under 1) from the Pacific Northwest. Only eight of them were
from the Yakima Valley.
“Brothers
Matthew and Patrick Rawn run this winery near the Yakima Valley town of Zillah,
and they are producing superb, crowd-pleasing wines. This Riesling is no
exception. It opens with aromas of tropical fruit and honeydew melon, followed
by flavors of lemon juice, apples and pears, all backed with steely acidity.
This Is a bold dry wine that will pair nicely with grilled chicken or seafood
gumbo.”
So, a toast to our Riesling and to others enjoyment of it! Cheers!
