Washington State MUSCAT CANELLI

Washington State MUSCAT CANELLI Wine Details
Price: $9.99 per bottle

Description: Corbet Clark, American Wines of the Northwest: "Muscat - a neglected grape, but one that can produce remarkably good wines in Washington. The trademark of all Muscat is an extremely aromatic quality - it smells like a whole collection of tropical fruits and flowers. This pungency sets it apart from almost any other white grape...." Corbet Clark goes on to say: "Muscat grows well in eastern Washington, is a heavy producer, and generally made into a fairly sweet, low-alcohol wine, emphasizing the fresh fruit qualities of the grape. Lighter and subtler than California Muscats......". This wine continues to be one of the winemaker's favorite and more than any other variety, shows off his flair with the light and fruity varietals. This wine differs from the norm when it comes to Muscats in that it is finished with just under 4% residual sweetness and a relatively high acid. A delight by itself, this wonderfully balanced wine is also a suitable compliment for any shellfish meal and goes especially well with food prepared with lots of garlic or spice. An exceptional "sipping and sniffing" wine.
