Pacific Rim
Pacific Rim produces Riesling and Gewürztraminer from Washington, focusing on aromatic white varieties suited to the region's cool-climate conditions. The Riesling Solstice Vineyard and Solstice Vineyard Old Vine Riesling represent the winery's core offerings, both drawing critical attention from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. Gewürztraminer rounds out the portfolio, a varietal known for its floral intensity and spice-forward character. Washington's maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings favor the development of these aromatic grapes, allowing for balance between ripeness and acidity. Pacific Rim's selection of single-vineyard and old-vine designations suggests a focus on site-specific expression within the region's terroir.
