Abacela 2012 Estate Muscat, Umpqua Valley, $16
By Great Northwest Wine on July 18, 2013
Muscat is one of our favorite varieties because it often is so beautifully aromatic. This one from Southern Oregon also delivers on the palate, providing delicate and perfectly balanced flavors. This opens with aromas of lychee, gooseberry, lime and slate, followed by rich flavors of jasmine, honeydew melon, orange oil and clove. Though it is 4% residual sugar, you might never know it because the richness in the mouth balances with moderate acidity. It’s a complex and layered wine.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 136 cases
Alcohol: 10%
