This wine has a pale straw appearance with beautiful richness in texture and balance. Aromas fill the glass with fragrant jasmine and honeysuckle blossoms, mandarin orange, and fresh apricot. On the palate, flavors of ripe yellow peach, nectarine and kumquat meld together with citrus undertones and a tangerine zest to create an opulent and refreshing sweet wine.
The 2023 growing season was entirely about patience. A long, wet winter and spring filled our lakes and nourished the soils. With the cooler start to the season, budbreak was several weeks behind average. Once warm, mild weather conditions took over in the late spring and early summer, abundant shoot growth in May and June proceeded. Canopy management was vital to veraison, which occurred in mid to late July. The Muscat Canelli was picked August 14-16. The longer hang time allowed the fruit to catch optimum ripening, creating a superb vintage with bright, fresh white wines that show varietal flavors and textures.
95 Points, The Tasting Panel – “Exotic aromas of beeswax and orange blossom lead to flavors of apricot nectar and lanolin. The low abv of 10.5% makes this an easy drinker, with a lovely, silky mouthful, and ample acidity to pair with shrimp, spicy Thai, blue cheese – probably endless ideas. This is a nod to the potential of this variety from Napa Valley! What a treat.” – MM, Aug 2025
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast – “Honeysuckle, orange blossom, and green tea aromatics on the nose of this wine join flavors of white nectarine, pomelo, and candied orange, with a mouthwatering while unctuous mouthfeel.” -ECB, Dec. 2025
90 Points, James Suckling – “Floral, peachy and sweet, this light-bodied wine is a good choice for a picnic and for cheese pairings. Jasmine blossom and yellow peach aromas lead to sugary, ripe melon flavors on a soft texture.”
