This lovely sweet Muscat was very deftly grown and made, showing the beautiful floral aromas of the variety but without any excessive or tiresome "perfume-y" character. Similarly, the flavors suit the aromas by offering delectable sweetness, yet the wine remains light on its feet thanks to virtually perfect acid balance. An important post-script is that the acidity seems entirely integrated with the fruit and sweetness of the wine, and this "natural seeming" profile is a hallmark of outstanding sweet wines. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2020 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
