2011 MOSCATO D'LATAH
55% Morio Muskat, 25% Muscat Canelli,
10% Orange Muscat, 10% Muscadelle de Bordelaise


Tasting Notes

After a devasting freeze to our Muscat Canelli vineyards, we began pulling all resources we had to find a substitute for this Latah Creek grape staple.  The outcome: a wonderful blend of four Muscat family varieties; 55% Morio Muskat, 25% Muscat Canelli, 10% Orange Muscat, and 10% Muscadelle de Bordelaise.  Even though the Orange Muscat is a small percentage of the blend, the aromas of citrus immediately engulf all senses.  This wine is delightfully sweet, intensely aromatic and wonderfully refreshing.  The quality of the Muscat grape grown here in the Pacific Northwest give us the ability to produce an exceptional Washington State Moscato.

Muscat has always been one of my favorite wines.  It's intense fruit characters are second to none and it's versatility with food is unmatched.  But while traveling in the Piedmonte region of Northern Italy, Ellena and Mike discovered Moscato.  WOW -- a Muscat finished sweeter and with less alcohol.  We knew we would have a winner if we could reproduce this marvelous treat using our incredible Washington State Muscat family grapes.  Thus was born Moscato d'Latah.  Great by itself or as an aperitif with light snacks or hors d'oeuvres.

Awards and Accolades

'08 Vintage - Excellent, Wine Press Northwest Magazine March 2010
'09 Vintage - 89 Points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

"Aromatic and appealing, this perfectly captures the pretty orange peel and citrus scents of the grape.  In the mouth it's sweet but buoyed by bright acids, the fruit clean and layered, bringing in streaks of cinnamon, honey, vanilla, and tea as it rolls into a satisfying finish."
