Sky River Meadery NV Solas Honey Wine, Washington, $26
Two years ago, Sky River Meadery moved to Woodinville from its longtime home along Highway 2 in Monroe so these wines are receiving more attention than ever before. And this product of golden honey — aged in Dry Fly whiskey barrels — ranks among the best meads in the Pacific Northwest. It begins with aromas of dried lemon peel, nutmeg, clove and powdered sugar before moving into elegant flavors of mascarpone, powdered sugar, jasmine and sugar cookies. There’s a wealth of residual sugar (14 percent), but the skillful use of acidity by winemaker Denice Ingalls makes this quaffable and worthy of serving with a fruit and cheese plate. This received a silver medal at the 2014 Seattle Wine and Food Experience.
Rating: Excellent
Production: 140 cases
