A beautiful dry Muscat with layers of tropical and stone fruits with bright acidity and a long, aromatic finish.
Jillian Barnhart
Sommelier
Perfect with oven braised orange chicken with orange zest, lemon thyme, garlic, orange segments, Muscat & butter, served over rice pilaf.
Norma Buchholz
Chef
A terrific aromatic white with dried orange peel, Georgia peach, and apricot. The palate teams with lively citrus that keeps this wine fresh and quenching.

Winemaking Notes

A wet, but warm spring with a few mild frosts during late April and fewer than average heat spikes.
Near-record precipitation amounts during late June and early July brought increased disease pressure to the region.
The vintage will be remembered for the early rains in September and rapid cool down into October which challenged harvesting decisions. The cool vintage came largely from substantially lower maximum temperatures while minimum temperatures were near average to slightly above average.
A classic Oregon vintage!
