2013 Orange Muscat This off-dry Muscat has intricate aromas of jasmine and tropical fruits. The flavors are layered with candied sweet ginger and bright summer fruits. The 2% residual sugar that we left in this Muscat makes it an incredible complement to any spicy Asian dish, grilled fish or poultry. It works just as well with cheese and a sunset on the porch.

Aromas of honeydew melon, intertwined with the Stargazer Lily, combine with the flavors of sweet grapefruit and white peach to express the full body and long-lingering finish. Platinum… We’ve upped our standard. Now, up yours! Find it here 2013 Dessert Muscat Luscious and Aromatic this sweet orange Muscat is beautifully balanced with wonderful aromas of orange blossoms and a hint of honeyed peaches. If we could put a squirt bottle attachment to this wine we’d save a lot of marriages. Find it here
