2 Hawk Rogue Valley Muscat – 2018 (750ml)

Muscat continues to be a source of serious playfulness at 2Hawk. We take the wine seriously, but we never feel the wine takes itself seriously. The fruit never fails to elicit surprise at picking with the sheer size of the bunches, but once the juice is liberated the delicious factor begins soaring. There is no doubt we love the intensely perfumed aromatics of stone fruit, lychee, orange peel, and rose water that gush onto the palate. The serious part of this wine comes with balancing the high natural acidity. The 2018 version is notably drier than previous versions, but maintains a sense of grace and style. Drink this while young, over the next 2 years, and enjoy its pairing versatility by mating it to baked panko-crusted chicken tossed in ghost pepper-mango-ginger glaze.
