2006 Peterson Muscat Blanc - Lipton-Daniel Vineyard (375 ml)

These alluring fragrances are mirrored in the velvety smooth flavors. Apricot, white nectarine and peach trapped in the envelope of crème brulee with a decadent caramelized top. This show-stopping dessert wine beckons for a custard-filled tart topped with fresh fruit or a traditional English trifle. Vineyard:The Lipton Daniel Muscat vineyard occupies just a portion of the organic orchard that surrounds Doug and Cindy’s home in the heart of Dry Creek Valley. Planted to Muscat Blanc (85%) and Orange Muscat (15%), the vines are head trained and farmed to produce the most aromatic, intensely Muscat flavored grapes.Fred's Vintaged View:When Doug Lipton and Cindy Daniel approached me a few years ago regarding what type of grapes to plant in their Dry Creek Valley organic farm, I raised the idea of growing a field-blend of Muscat Blanc and Orange Muscat. They liked the idea and after working with them to get the vineyard up and producing, I jumped at the chance to make a wine from their Muscat grapes. The Muscat de Beaumes de Venise from the Rhone Valley region in France has long been a favorite of mine. The beauty of a Muscat Blanc produced in the Beaumes de Venise style is its versatility. Although it is high in alcohol and residual sugar, the wine never takes on the cloying characteristic of a late harvest wine. The strongly floral aromatics blend with the exotic fl avors of peach, lychee nut, melon and honeysuckle to create a delicious wine that is a perfect treat on a warm sunny day or by the glow of a winter fire.
