Probably my favorite dessert wine to date. Not exceedingly sweet, with some orange and floral notes on the nose. Palate shows citrus, more floral, and a riesling-like frizante quality. Really interesting, not too syrupy, overall a really nice wine.

Sweet without being too much. Very crisp and clean, light, fragrant, nice easy drinking Muscat. Went very well with Thanksgiving dinner dessert, pumpkin everything.

Delicious. This time around it was chilled better than my first tasting note, and much more enjoyable. The orange zest was right there on the nose, with the body more like ripe Bartlett pear.

At first, classic muscat and a bit of green apple. But the zest of the apple skin fades after a bit to more like applesauce. The sweet syrup that comes with canned pineapples. Later on (hour or so) pear notes emerge, and a bit of elusive citrus. Finish gets a bit peach-ey, or like peach syrup. More viscous on the tongue than it looked in the glass, but smooth.

As an off-dry california muscat wine go, this is one that you can stock up if it is something to your liking. The price is also right.
