Westport Winery NV Dawn Patrol white wine

Appellation: Washington

This ranks among the most remarkable offerings from this rapidly expanding 2-year-old family operation in Grays Harbor County. It's Riesling that's turned red by raspberry juice. The drink is alluring and very intense from beginning to end, and the texture taunts you into thoughts of picking seeds out of your teeth. There's lip-smacking acidity, which makes it a balanced deck wine with 12.5% residual sugar, so chill it and kill it. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine.

Price: $25.

Cases produced: 360.

Food matches: Enjoy this wine with picnic fare or dessert such as cheesecake.
