Best Buy! Second-generation winemaker Natalie Conway-Barnes reached rarified air during our latest judging by scoring a Platinum for the same aromatic variety from the same second-generation vineyard with back-to-back vintages during the same Platinum Awards tasting. The Morrell family has two blocks planted five years apart, and the Spokane Valley winery captures a great deal of charm with this Muscat, starting with a nose of jasmine, honeydew melon, mango and almond. The palate is full-bodied and dripping with sweet fruit akin to nectarine on the entry, cantaloupe and banana custard on the midpalate, Rainier cherry juice and a long finish of tree-ripened peach.
