Uncorking Lobo Hills 2013 PGR Yakima Valley White Wine

This weeks wine is Lobo Hills 2013 PGR Yakima Valley White Wine.

Wine Makers Notes: " PGR blends those three varietals made famous in the Alasce and Rhineland. This happily complex nose wafts aromas of pineapple, peach, banana and lychee. Selected as the Best White Blend from the Columbia Valley in the 8th Annual Washington Wine Awards."

My Notes: pepper, musty, earthy, perfume, sharp finish, green apple, crisp, side of tongue, high acidity, medium tannin, lingering tart aftertaste, medium bodied.

Now this wine was very interesting to me. When I purchased it, the wine seller said that it was really sweet and well rounded.
Well expecting that I found that it is dry and peppery.

There is a sweetness but not one that you would expect of a blended wine. That being said, it did bring the best of each of the wines and marry it in a cohesive way.

This would be a good meaty dish, like steak or bbq (in my humble opinion.)

However, if you are looking for a sweet wine this is not it, despite what the wine makers notes say. You would be better just buying a Gewurztraminer or Moscato or a Pino.
