Quady Winery, California (United States) 2014

Jan 20, 2016

By Rich Cook

Quady created this category in the domestic market years ago, and they are still the leader.  The Electra line is a low alcohol, sweet frizzante styled Muscat that comes in red and white versions. The red is a blend of Orange Muscat and Black Muscat, and it delivers bright berry and peach fruit, delightful effervescence and a long clean finish.  I usually don’t recommend dessert wines with edible desserts, but this could work well alongside a sorbet — I bet it could even become a sorbet.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
