Muscat Blanc 2013, Dry Creek Valley, 375ml
In Stock
The Muscat de Beaumes de Venise from the Rhone Valley region in France has long been a favorite of the Petersons. The beauty of a Muscat Blanc produced in the Beaumes de Venise style is its versatility. Although it is high in alcohol and residual sugar, the wine never takes on the cloying characteristic of a late harvest wine. The strongly floral aromatics blend with the exotic flavors to create a delicious wine that is a perfect treat on a warm sunny day or by the glow of a winter fire.

Tasting Notes
A gorgeous amber-honey hue and perfumey aromatics of orange and honeysuckle blossoms tempt that first sip—then you’re hooked by this delicious dessert wine’s charms. The velvety mouthfeel offers opulent flavors of toasted caramel, white peach, juicy apricot, and honey-glazed almonds. The rich palate is balanced by the slight alcohol kick, making it a great after dinner sipper.
Food Pairing Notes
Enjoy it with a selection of artisan cheeses, and be sure to include a creamy blue, Manchego, goat-milk Gouda, and some Marcona almonds—a heavenly combination.
