Patterson Cellars 2008 BDX, Columbia Valley, $32
By Great Northwest Wine on February 21, 2013
Woodinville wine country is basically divided into two areas: the warehouse district and the Hollywood district. Patterson Cellars is one of the few wineries (and perhaps the only) to bridge the gap between the friendly rivals and have a tasting room in both locations. This red wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (63%), Cabernet Franc (26%) and Merlot. It opens with aromas of alder smoke, Bing cherry and Earl Grey tea, followed by delicious flavors of boysenberry and black cherry with hints of lilac and lavender. Sturdy tannins back up all the fruit.
Rating: Recommended
Production: This wine is sold out at the winery, though it has 1.5 and 3 liter bottles available.
Alcohol: 14.6%
