2018 Tamarack Washington Firehouse White Blend

In the world of wine, some of the most engaging mysteries revolve around “proprietary blends,” wines for which the mix of grapes used is not revealed. It’s a common practice in Bordeaux, although because the vintners are limited to a handful of varieties, it’s more of a guessing game than a mystery.

But with the inaugural release of the “Firehouse White Blend” from Tamarack Cellars in Washington, the varietal mix is a true mystery. We could make a few educated guesses based on the aromas and flavors of the wine, but they would only be guesses.

So, in a case like this, it’s best to concentrate on the totality of the wine. And the 2018 “Firehouse White Blend” is a delightful wine that’s light and easy drinking. It’s perfect when reading a book, watching TV, or sitting on the porch and pondering the mysteries of the world.
