Nose

With only 13 percent alcohol and 7 percent sugar, this Muscat enlivens the end of an extravagant meal with concentrated aromas of beeswax, pineapple and lychees.

Palate

The finish is bright, with a spicy finale that neatly counterpoints the plush mid-palate.

Growing Conditions

The weightiness of the 2009 vintage belies its low alcohol and refreshing finish.
