Color of egg white. Nose of sweet honey and flowering note, ginger, and a bit creamy and nutty. Taste has additional spicy and mineral note while sweet note is very marginal. Aftertaste is quite short with a bit bitter note. I will expect more from the blend. — 8 years ago
Pear, crisp apple, and a bit of granite on the nose. Palate is honeysuckle with a little funk. — 8 years ago
Almond extract and honey on the nose. In the mouth the honey shines with orange marmalade and a hint of bourbon. This dessert wine matched well with cherry clafoutis. — 9 years ago
Afternoon in the garden, this with dinner. Could not be a better pairing. — 9 years ago

A really interesting wine, seems fortified on the nose but not so much when you taste it. A little salt and lots of complexity and length. Also a really nice colour. — 10 years ago

Much more cranberry on the palate than I remember on the last bottle of this vintage. — 7 years ago
‘Wine w/ a prickle” it states on the label.... perhaps “a tickle” would be more appropriate. Simple and bone dry. Perfect w/ the creaminess of Kumamoto’s. — 8 years ago
Tropical jam, elderflower, a couple of bubbles. Makes one dance and flail and trip and slip and laugh. This is Cinderella wine - you feel like an elegant princess even though you showed up in a pumpkin and ran around with only one shoe on and you talk to mice. — 9 years ago
The only thing that lets this wine down is its lack of acidity. Otherwise, it's fruity, aromatic, and appealing. — 9 years ago
Lemon peel and green apple and little grass on the nose. Palate confirms the nose but addition of underripe pear and a purple floral note. Minerality. Round, tiny butter/creamy structure to finish. Great with pasta — 10 years ago

Excellent dessert wine. Hints of cherry — 10 years ago
Rich, deep tropical fruit and honeyed nose with just a hint of smoke. The palate is full and sweet and bursting with fresh acidity. Fresh flavors of peach and apricot lead to a long and sweet but not cloying finish. — 11 years ago
I'm usually not the greatest fan of dessert wines but I let myself be guided by our sommelier in #ashStCellar and she heard my prayers! Fantastic fruity yet not super sweet Muscat. Forgive my ignorance but it smelled even hoppy, much like our home made pale ale!! A creamy texture ... and super chilled it tasted like heaven with our desserts: rum and figs tart and cream chantilly (and without it). Completely recommended :) — 11 years ago

Got my hands on a ‘14, excited b/c the blend changes each vintage; 79% Chardonnay, 8% Viognier, 5% Grenache Blanc, 5% Marsanne, 2% Muscat, and 1% Roussanne aged in 40% new French oak for 9 mos. Bright straw, aromas of stone & tropical fruits with floral spice. The palate shows flavors of white peach, melon and apple with hints of lemon zest and honeysuckle. The wine is well balanced with integrated oak, crisp, lively acidity and a long finish ending with a mineral edge. — 8 years ago
Wait, what? Southern Oregon...where’s that, and how did they come to make such amazing white wines? The sock puppet has questions. Voluptuous density with amazing balance of floral, spice, and tropical fruit notes. Gonna have to look into this Muscat thing... — 9 years ago
Nice dessert wine with a good side of acidity to balance the residual sugar. Lots of stone fruit and some citrus on the palate. — 9 years ago
Medium gold. Pronounced aromas of pineapple, banana, tinned peaches, possibly lychee. Really enjoy the smell. Medium - acid , full body, 13%. Medium + finish. Peach stone, slight banana, pineapple again, all fairly prominent. Definitely tropical fruit dominated. All in all an interesting wine and worth tasting. — 10 years ago

Rose water, honey suckle aromatics up front, elegant serious wine.. I am thinking of Thai food would be a perfect pairing! — 11 years ago
