Fortified, this absolutely awesome dessert wine made by superstar winemaker Billo Naravane begins with aromas of white rose, gardenia, lychee and pink grapefruit. This leads to flavors of apricot, lychee, pineapple, and banana foster. The exotic nature of this wine is apparent. (Best 2017-2028) – June, 2017 (OB)

2016 Echo Ridge Muscat Blanc ‘Arrete’
The only white produced, the 2012 Muscat Canelli is about as quaffable and delicious as they come with overflowing aromas of orange blossom, flowers, tangerine and ripe peach. Fresh, pure and juicy on the palate, with a slightly off dry feel, it is hard to resist and is a perfect white for serving chilled over the coming summer months. Drink now – 2013.

2012 Echo Ridge Muscat Canelli
A blend of Muscat Canelli and Orange Muscat, this off-dry, stainless-steel fermented wine offers a panoply of scents and flavors. Ripe melon, apricot, candied citrus and the telltale orange zest of Muscat are all here in abundance. The residual sugar is 23 g/L but nicely set against refreshing acidity.
