The Eyrie Vineyards
Yamhill Carlton Muscat Ottonel
Bought at winery. Listed as a “dry white table wine”, 12% alc/vol. Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Floral and nutty (almond) notes in nose. Lemon pith and almond flavors, subtle overall, rounded mouthfeel, mild skin astringency on finish. Good acidity. Limited Muscat expression here, but this varietal may simply differ from other Muscats. First time I’ve had Muscat Ottonel. Wikipedia claims it is a cross between Chasselas and Muscat de Saumur.
