La Sirena 2024 Moscato Azul, Napa Valley

Heidi Barrett Tasting Notes: “Our 2024 dry Muscat Canelli is a crisp white wine that is highly aromatic with beguiling tropical and floral notes. The aromatics of this wine are always so special – one sniff and you’ll fall in love. Very light straw in color with mega aromas of tropical fruits, perfume, and floral notes bursting from the glass. Lychee, pineapple, jasmine, and white peach come to mind. Across the palate, it’s clean yet mouthfilling with an abundance of unusual white wine flavors that enliven the palate. Very pretty and delicious with crisp acidity and silky balance. “

Robert Parker says, “A wine that Heidi Barrett does better than just about anybody in California is her unbelievably fun Moscato Azul….. Reminiscent of northern Italy’s famous Moscatos. A slow, cold fermentation renders a wine with an explosive perfume of spring flowers and tropical fruits”. And… “Barrett has hit pay dirt with a lively, consumer-friendly dry Muscat… It is fresh, light bodied, and crisp… seductive aromatics”. Actor Alan Rickman, of Bottle Shock fame, once remarked that “it was the most delicious thing ever to pass through his lips”. Can’t argue with that!

Tasting Notes: “The 2024 dry Muscat Canelli is a crisp white wine that is highly aromatic with beguiling tropical and floral notes. The aromatics of this wine are always so special – one sniff and you’ll fall in love. Very pale straw in color with bold aromas of tropical fruit, lychee, pineapple, guava, and white peach. Flavors match the aromas, with a touch of jasmine and green-apple-like acidity in the finish. This is such a great wine to enjoy pairing with tons of exciting dishes – go wild! Deliciously well-balanced with a pure, clean flavor profile and silky smooth texture.”
