The only Melon grown in Washington and it's in the Puget Sound on Bainbridge Island. I bought this when visiting the winery, which is a one man operation and truly a passion project. Decent stuff. 11% alc. Made entirely in tank, this would probably benefit from a barrel fermentation and time on the lees. Cheers to the man all the same. I look forward to trying his Zweigelt once the vines are producing.
