The wine region of Yakima Valley
Washington's oldest AVA (1983): signature Chardonnay and Riesling as white kings (lively and taut, citrus, apple, white peach and a mineral touch, acidity preserved by cold nights). Supple Merlot (plum, blackberry), structured Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar) and fleshy Syrah (blackberry, pepper, smoked meat) in concentrated reds. Southern Columbia Valley, basalt under loess, day-night contrast (80/50°F) — about 1/3 of the state's plantings.
The wine region of Washington
2nd US producer by volume, on the arid, sunny Columbia Valley. Star Cabernet Sauvignon (~60% of reds): powerful and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, dry herbs and graphite, firm tannins. Fleshy, peppery Syrah (black fruits, smoked meat). Round, fruity Merlot, historic mineral Riesling (dry and off-dry), precise Chardonnay and ample Sémillon.
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
