Lovely light gold. Delicious lemon quince honeyed nose. Disappointing relative to the nose. Thin, a bit sour, lemony.

Very floral fragrant nose of roses and honey suckles. A delight to smell. Tropical fruits on the palate and good acidity .

lovely wine. Beautiful pale gold color. On the nose there is fleshy tropical notes that are matched on the palate. The wine smells like it will be fat but is clean on the finish. Great starter and great with food.

Deductive Tasting (Blind) (Rajiv's House, San Francisco) : Tasted blind. Lemon-yellow; aromatic nose with petrol, white peach; palate is dry, medium acid, medium bodied, medium alcohol; finish is short-medium. With time the nose is less aromatic, more muted, slight floral. Initially thought this was Alsatian riesling from the nose but after it changed now thinking something else. Maybe Alsatian pinot blanc? 87

Monday night Blinds at Home (Home (Noe st)) : Medium gold. Dry Floral and terpene-driven. Rose petal, canned lychee, slight underripe peach, there's a bitter, reductive stink to this. Not bad. Phenolic bitterness Acid is medium plus Alcohol is medium, maybe slightly elevated. 12.5% (Correct) Overall it feels too light for gewurz. Some earth and waxiness. Muscat from Alsace Torrontes from Argentina. Tastes too good to be Torrontes, and slightly old-world. Some development. --> Muscat, Alsace, 2013. Viognier - too …

Wonderfully clean fresh floral dry white, great with Asian stir fry especially a simple sauteed shrimp with garlic and scallions.

Very much a Zind nose and flavor. A straightforward Muscat with a Zind touch. Very light and refreshing.

Nose suggests sweetness, but it's bone dry. Racy acidity, wonderful aromatics. Dried apricots and lychee. This would match up well with Thai cuisine. Nice for the price...

Yellow-green color. Pronounced nose - candied orange, peach, melon, honey, floral. Similar on the palate along with some stoney minerality. A little frizzante. Medium body, medium+ acidity (high for a Muscat), medium finish. Nice, but a longer finish would make this more memorable.

Very pretty nose, flower bouquet, fragrant peach, tropical floral notes, guava-mango; this is dry, with a slight ripe fruity impression, but this is not grandma's boudoir.Very nice elegant muscat.

Bright pale gold tinged yellow. The nose is powerfully floral. Very structured on the palate with identifiable varietal favors of grapefruit cinnamon and pepper. Very good at the table (fatty shanghainese fair). I like this and, at $20.60, I I wish I had more.

This is gorgeous! Phenomenal floral and fruity nose makes one think that this will be sweet, but it is not. This wine finishes almost bone- dry (just off-dry to my palate, "bone dry" to Bonnie's)/. Exquisite balance of gorgeous muscat fruit, with floral elements, lovely texture, great flavor with racy acidity that keeps this still fresh and vibrant at 18 years old. Terrific wine. Nice complement to Chinese chicken with peppers and also a mache salad with fig and goat …
