The wine region of Columbia Gorge Washington
American AVA (2004) straddling Oregon and Washington around Hood River, "world of wine in 40 miles" with extreme climatic diversity (cool maritime west vs arid east), volcanic soils and loess. Pinot Noir is the signature red (most planted) on the cool side: ethereal and fruity with cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and spiced notes. Full Pinot Gris, taut Riesling and floral Gewürztraminer as whites. Structured Cabernet, Syrah and Zinfandel in the east.
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: Balance
Harmony of the different organoleptic elements of a wine. The balance is linked to the typicity of each wine. The sweetness of a sweet wine is an element of its balance, whereas a Sancerre or a Chablis will be asked to be lively and dry.
