Wine Review: This “Late Harvest Muscat Blanc” from Navarro is yummy! It is almost clear colored and opens with a lychee and honeysuckle bouquet with notes of apricot. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, smooth and viscous. The flavor profile is a delicious lychee and Bosc pear blend with hints of apricot, Mandarin orange, and ginger. The finish is sweet and fades away nicely. The Panel suggested sipping this gem on its own for dessert. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Our Muscat vines produced a bountiful crop in 2016. We decided to begin harvesting when the fruit was at an optimum ripeness level. Grape acidity for this wine was concentrated, predicting a long life for this sweetie. A thimbleful of this heady, exotic, succulent beauty is dessert unto itself.
