Patterson 2012 Forbidden White (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: White Blend
Winery: Patterson / Forbidden

A quirky blend of six wildly-different white grapes, this has some sweet fruit, some bitter phenolics, and a noticeable honeyed character, suggesting that there was some botrytis in the mix. Rich and loaded with flavors of lemon curd, apricot and ripe peaches, it’s a creative, interesting wine, worth exploring at this price.
