The Zillah area...

[OnlyTheBest]

When Mario Batalli did his discussion here...a week or so ago....I asked him about wines and he mentioned the Zillah area here in Washington state.

Has anyone had any of these wines and if so what did you think.

Thanks.

Zillah is one little area in the Columbia Valley appellation...Covey Run is a winery owned by Corus brands. The winery was founded as Quail Run years ago and they made some delicious little white wines. Today their offerings are fairly commercial and pretty standard to ordinary. Hyatt is another property in Zillah. From time to time a red from Hyatt is good and they have made a few really nice sweet wines.

Don't recall tasting exceptional wines of the Bonair winery...

In any case, Zillah cannot yet be compared with an area such as Walla Walla as a prime or special vineyard region.

Thanks... I guess Mario must have some favorites from there. Thanks so much for your response.
