Features
(6) - 2014 Silver Totem Cabernet Sauvignon, Horse Heaven Hills, 750ml
2014 Silver Totem Cabernet Sauvignon, Horse Heaven Hills
Color: Deep ruby red. Bouquet: Cherry, cedar and violet.
Taste: Currant and blackberry.
Food Pairing: Ideal with burgers, roasted pork, wild game, grilled vegetables and aged ribeye with vegetable puree.
Vineyards: The grapes for Silver Totem come from three vineyards located in the Horse Heaven Hills and the Walla Walla Valley AVAs. The soil consists of wind-blown loess on basalt bedrock.
Winemaking: Washington State's volcanic and mineral driven soils create the ideal environment for Cabernet Sauvignon to develop its full aromatic potential. The consistently warm summers and cool evenings of the Pacific Northwest preserve the natural acidity of Cabernet and produces a solid tannic structure. The grapes are machine harvested with the latest Pellenc harvester technology guaranteeing that only perfect berries are picked. The grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks at our winery. The fermentation was conducted at high temperatures (85F) for a short period of time (7 to 10 days) to avoid extracting too many tannins. Half of the wine is then aged in oak barrels and the other half in tank for 14 month prior to bottling.

First released by Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon Vineyard in 1992, Pacific Rim Dry Riesling quickly gained a loyal following among Riesling lovers. Known for its fresh and bright characteristics, the wine was a welcome alternative to over-oaked, one-dimensional white wines. As the American palate evolved in recent years toward wines with greater complexity and crisper acidity, the popularity of Pacific Rim Dry Riesling grew.
Demand and enthusiasm for Pacific Rim Dry Riesling continued to gain momentum — and the excitement around the wine inspired a radical idea... the creation of a winery exclusively dedicated to Riesling. In August of 2006, a small band of Bonny Doon expats moved to the Northwest from California with a common desire to craft the best Riesling in America... thus, Pacific Rim became its own winery.
At Pacific Rim, we are passionate about Riesling (in fact, nearly 90% of Pacific Rim's production is comprised of Riesling wines); we are passionate about crafting world-class Riesling; and we are passionate about extolling the wondrous virtues of Riesling. Explore our website and — if you haven't already had the pleasure — try our wines. If you're not presently a Riesling zealot, we're certain that you, too, will soon discover the marvels of our favorite variety...Riesling.
