VINEYARD NOTES:
Estate grown in Temecula Valley. This Muscat was the first grape harvested in 2019. The short growing season brought out the subtle details to the wine's aromas and flavors. The 2019 marked a hugh year for Muscat with fruit quality better than 2018.
WINEMAKER - Kestutis Vizgirda
Kestutis "Gus" Vizgirda believes the secret to good winemaking begins in the vineyard. That's why throughout the growing season you will find him touring the rows of varietals and envisioning the kinds of wines he will produce from the harvest. For over two decades, Vizgirda has worked at several local wineries, working with some of the Valley's best winemakers to refine his craft. Today, he has developed his own unique approach to making wine and has won gold medals for several of his varietals.
In addition to serving as Wilson Creek's Winemaker, Vizgirda teaches wine classes at Mt. San Jacinto College and San Diego State University Extended Studies campus. He is also a judge at several local and international wine competitions.
REVIEWS:
Wine Club Member: Randy Molde
Whether nibbling on citrus or chewing on cheese, swirling the Moscato brings sunrise to the taste buds. This wine will have you anticipating each and every sip. A hint of honey energizes the senses. The tropical finish reminds me of summer trade winds and ocean spray, while enjoying time with friends.
