Terue Wines
Dry Muscat
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Made and bought at Brooks Winery. 100 cases made. Pale yellow white, very good clarity. Honey, floral notes in nose. Soft, medium body, honey flavor. Dry to off-dry but fruit makes it taste like it's sweet, deceptively so. Some skin astringency on finish with citrus, honey and a slightly bitter aftertaste. A notoriously difficult grape to make (good) dry wines from, but this one is decidedly above average. Worth seeking out if, like me, you admire well-made dry muscats

Brooks alt label. Dry muscat. A big ol' bouquet. To the point and easy to finish a bottle on a hot Saturday afternoon. I'm really enjoying the WV move towards drying out sweet wines.
