Orange Muscat

Rivers-Marie

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

The 2016s just came in so I had to rip one open. This might be the best SC ever and that is saying a lot. It’s certainly the best one for early drinking as it was singing with only a splash decant. A return to dark fruits, cedar, orange peel. The life of the party. — 8 years ago

Just dont do the ‘16 Anderson Valley. It was not rocking out of the gate like the Sonoma Coast is.

Ramí Terre Siciliane Greciano Insolia 2012

Dried lemon rinds. Grapefruit, orange, honey and potpourri. The palate is lemon rind and pith. Orange zest. Saline and hints of honey. Reminds me of a fino sherry, but with more moderate acidity. Long finish. — 10 years ago

Tail Feathers Rogue Valley Viognier Muscat Riesling 2016

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... — 8 years ago
