J.J. Prum 2006 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese - Riesling White Wine
J.J. Prum 2006 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese - Riesling White Wine
White Wine by J.J. Prum from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany. Very rich, but at the same time well-structured and not at all fat. Very good interplay between floral flavors, mineral acidity and citrus aromas. This Auslese is still less developed compared to the Sp?tlese, but will improve remarkably when opening further in the course of the next years. Great aging potential. Serve this refreshing wine slightly chilled, as an aperitif or, especially when more mature, in combination with seafood and poultry, but also red meat and even fresh fruits. It is also an exciting match for Western style or Asian and Pacific Rim cuisine. Aromas of rose, slate and smoke segue into lime and peach flavors in this elegant, stately white. It’s crisp and transparent, with precise balance and a classic Mosel profile. Long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2035. - Wine Spectator
Pacific Rim 2007 Daunenhauer Vineyard Riesling - White Wine
Pacific Rim 2007 Daunenhauer Vineyard Riesling - White Wine
White Wine by Pacific Rim from Willamette Valley, Oregon. It is always interesting and challenging to make a Riesling from a very different climate such as the wet and cool Willamette Valley. Because of the climate conditions, we have decided to pick the grapes for this wine early (at about 19 Brix) and craft the wine in a German Kabinett style. The wine shows intense notes of apple, honey and grapefruit. This is a sweet wine with an incredible acidity and low pH . making it taste quite dry for its Residual Sugar. The wine has the potential to age for 30 years (if you are patient enough). Try this wine with some dry fruits, some cheeses (goat cheeses are best), ice cream would also work wonders. This would also make a great aperitif. The alcohol is 8.8%, acid is 0.84%, pH is 2.81 and Residual Sugar 5.2%
Pacific Rim 2007 Dry Riesling - White Wine
Pacific Rim 2007 Dry Riesling - White Wine
White Wine by Pacific Rim from Columbia Valley, Washington. To make our Dry Riesling, we pick our grapes relatively early (21-22.5 Brix). The Riesling juice is fermented at cold temperatures for 30 days and then aged in stainless steel tanks. We leave our dry wines sur lie (which means that we keep the wine on the yeast lees to increase the mouthfeel of the wine) post fermentation for five months and we stir the lees once or twice a week. We use no oak and no malolactic on this wine it’s as pure and unmanipulated as it gets. For our Dry Riesling, we blend 20% of German Riesling wine selected by Johannes Selbach in the Mosel region to 80% of our Columbia Valley Riesling. The German Riesling lends great depth and acidity, as well as low alcohol. The wine is crisp, dry and lush with flavors of citrus, jasmine and minerals. Our Dry Riesling is endlessly versatile and harmoniously complements the world’s most vibrant and flavorful cuisine from Asian to European to a wide variety of seafood, cheeses and cold meats
Pacific Rim 2007 Solstice Vineyard Riesling - White Wine
Pacific Rim 2007 Solstice Vineyard Riesling - White Wine
White Wine by Pacific Rim from Yakima Valley, Washington. This is a small crop from old vines planted in 1972 . hand picked and fermented with its native yeasts. The grapes are more exposed at Solstice making the wine rich in phenolics. The wine shows notes of peach and kiwi with a very subtle and delicate nose. This is a solid wine with broad shoulders on the palate and some pear and lemon flavors. The masculinity of this wine comes from a high phenolic content combined with a 13.5% ethanol and a 1.14% Residual Sugar. For all this, the wine is not sweet and shows perfect balance. The wine is truly cellar worthy and will age for a very long time (10 plus years).
Pacific Rim 2008 Gewurztraminer - White Wine
Pacific Rim 2008 Gewurztraminer - White Wine
White Wine by Pacific Rim from Washington. Our 2008 Gewurztraminer is crafted from Washington and Oregon grapes. The fruit from these two regions possesses different yet complimentary characteristics, producing a balanced, more expressive and complex wine. We often put the juice and the grape skins in contact to extract and unleash the exquisite Gewurztraminer aromas locked in the skin. The juice is then cold temperature fermented over 20 days. We do not use any oak and do not put the wine through malolactic fermentation. The wine is crisp with a slight residual sugar of 1.7% with flavors of lychee, melon and tangerine. Our Gewurztraminer is an exceptional match with spicy Indian food, lemon chicken and blue cheeses.
Pacific Rim Frambroise (375ML) - Dessert Wine
Pacific Rim Frambroise (375ML) - Dessert Wine
Dessert, Fortified & Fruit Wine by Pacific Rim from Washington. The raspberries for our Framboise are from bucolic Mount Vernon, Washington. With majestic Mount Baker in the distance, our raspberries are sourced for Pacific Rim from Mike and Jean’s Berry Farm. The clone, or variety, of the raspberry is grown exclusively for Pacific Rim Framboise–Called the Morrison variety, the raspberry is exceptional due to its low bitterness and abundant flavors. Framboise is incomparable on its own or as a complement to any dessert. The bright raspberry flavors dance on your palate and serve as either a wondrous liquid dessert or complement to your favorite treat. We strongly recommend that you explore with Framboise–savor on its own, pour liberally over your favorite dessert (chocolate cake and cheesecake respond quite favorably) or mix into your preferred beverage (Framboise enhances all manner of cocktails). You can even use Framboise as a filling ingredient in your most excessive dessert recipes.
