Pacific Rim is not shy about its dedication to Riesling. The winery’s website address is www.RieslingRules.com. They are not only committed to producing exceptional Riesling but also to educating wine consumers about the variety. A section of their website, called Crush Pad, claims to be “the ultimate Riesling resource.” They have written a book called Riesling Rules (surprise!) that is available online (a free hard copy available upon request). With its Fourth Edition due out this spring, Riesling Rules covers just about everything you could possibly want to know about the variety.

The Pacific Rim is a totally different style than the Jacob’s Creek, but still a dry wine. It’s much more complex, full and juicy compared with the leaner Jacob’s Creek. The Pacific Rim has a lovely fresh floral aroma and it tastes of peaches and other stone fruit. This is a delicious, bright, crisp and refreshing wine that ends with a long finish with hints of citrus.

This would be a great pair with sushi, spicy Asian cuisine and other light fare.

In a lightweight, small carbon footprint glass bottle, Pacific Rim 2007 Riesling is made from organically grown grapes. This wine has a floral nose full of apricot and honey with juicy peach and honeydew notes and a lemon-lime finish. It is tasty, well-made and likeable, but I found it “fat” – semi-sweet, low-alcohol, low-acid. New wine drinkers will love it.
