Tasting Notes
The 2016 Maestro Collection Muscat Canelli offers beautiful high-tone perfumed aromas of jasmine, pear blossom and white peach. The intriguing bouquet leads to a juicy palate filled with tropical fruit, sweet citrus and honey flavors. The wine is intentionally made with some residual sugar leaving a lightly sweet palate which enhances the personality of the grape varietal. The lush palate is balanced by refreshing acidity and leaves a lingering, flavorful finish.
Vineyard Notes
The Muscat Canelli variety grows well in many regions throughout the Napa Valley. Our Muscat Canelli comes from our BV Ranch No. 8 vineyard in the Los Carneros American Viticultural Area (AVA), at the southern tip of Napa Valley as well as our BV Ranch No. 11 vineyard located in the warmer Calistoga AVA in the northern portion of the Valley. This vineyard combination lends to the overall balance of the wine; ripe, rich fruit with good, persistent acidity.
