Pacific Rim Columbia Valley Dry Riesling 750 ML

Pacific Rim Dry Riesling is a vibrant expression of Washington State's Columbia Valley. It bursts forth with enticing aromas of citrus blossom and a touch of white peach. On the palate, it unveils flavors of crisp green apple and a hint of minerality. The wine's bright acidity carries through to a clean, invigorating finish. This Dry Riesling is a true celebration of Columbia Valley's potential for producing world-class Rieslings.Pale straw color. On the nose, jasmine, pear and apple. On the palate, apricot, jasmine with a balanced sugar level. The sweetness plays wonderfully with fiery fare (from Thai to Mexican), while the natural acidity stands up to richer foods (from French to German).\n \n Producer Information\n Pacific Rim Winemakers is a Washington winery owned by the Mariani Family (who are also owners of Castello Banfi in Tuscany, and of import firm Banfi Vintners, based on Long Island, New York).
