The tasting room is a favorite stop for many visitors to the Prosser area. A recent visit included a chance to taste the red wines, a riesling and a pinot gris. Rauner believes the 1994 vintage is a classic. An intense wine with flavorful fruit overtones, a well-balanced finish and toasty oak aromas. The wine has a lovely fruity finish, with a soft, smooth feel on the palate.
Flavors are red currants and chocolate.
1996 lemberger Rendezvous - A tasting room favorite that is a fruity, lighter red that shows off black pepper and red grape flavors. Essences of loganberry add to the enjoyment. John's vintage port - Rauner has been making port since 1982, perhaps longer than anyone else in the state. The latest has a nice vanilla extract feel in the mouth with touches of sugared raspberries. Residual sugar is about 2 percent.
