Yakima Valley Travels

Hi all: I spent a day in Yakima Valley last month and found a couple of very good wineries in Prosser, Washington.

Alexandria Nicole: Fantastic wines! Horse Heaven Hills grower of very nice stuff.Reviews are below.
Reserve Viognier-91 pts. Very elegant with a touch of oak.
Syrah-89pts. Textbook Horse Heaven Hills syrah. Meaty and full-bodied.
Merlot-92pts. If all merlots were this good I would drink a lot more of them. 19% malbec blended in.
Destiny-90pts. Their OPUS. A big and dense bordeaux blend.
Ice Wine Syrah-93pts. Never had one before and loved it. Sweet and smooth.

They have a fantastic tasting room and ship to California!
