Tualatin Semi Sparkling Muscat "Frizzante" 07
winery: Tualatin
Parker says: 89 POINTS!
"The Tualatin Semi-Sparkling Muscat is a clone of an Italian Moscato d'Asti. Its boisterous orange blossom and raspberry aromas lead to a fresh, zesty, medium-bodied personality. This velvety-textured wine has tangy orange, red berry, and floral flavors in its character. Like the Italian Moscatos, it has low alcohol (6.5%) and an off-dry sweetness. It should be drunk over the next 6-8 months as an aperitif, or as I like to drink this style of wine, while watching the first football games of the season on warm Sundays. This is an excellent value that should be consumed over the next six months."

WPNW Review: "This spritzy white wine starts with lovely floral aromas and tangerine and citrus flavors. It has an intriguing orange spice character. Won gold at the Northwest Enological Society judging."From the winery: "Sweet. Explosive aromas of the Early Muscat grape, peaches, citrus rind, flower blossoms and papaya. Flavors mirror the aromas with mouth watering fresh acidity and dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) balancing the sweetness. The finish is lively, clean and fresh, inviting another sip. Light bodied, fresh and crisp styled wine."
