La Sirena, Calistoga (California) Dry Muscat Canelli 2019

Sep 29, 2021

By Miranda Franco

 La Sirena is a small production Napa Valley project from Heidi Barrett.  Barrett achieved fame for crafting some of the country’s most sought-after wines from Dalla Valle and Screaming Eagle.  She goes against the grain with her unique and utterly quaffable Moscato.  Unlike the typical low alcohol and sweet Moscato, Barrett puts her signature touch on the wine by working with Muscat Canelli and vinifying it dry, resulting in 13.1 percent alcohol.  It is refreshingly dry, pungently floral, crisp with acidity, and bursts with tropical fruit and lime zest flavors.  This is definitely not your grandma’s Moscato.
