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: Mineral
Taste reminiscent of gunflint, chalk and many nuances of the mineral world, and reinforcing, especially in white wines, the notion of freshness and the sappy character.
