Stoney Ridge 2004 Muscat Ottonel
This wine yielded some very interesting results during our tastings. At a recent dinner celebrating Stoney Ridge’s 20th Anniversary, this wine lead off the evening with appetizers of artisan cheeses, crackers, bread, and fresh fruit … it was the perfect companion for this beautiful late-summer evening patio get together. Hints of sweet honeydew melon and floral aromas … followed with luscious apples, pears, honey and melon on the palate. Of course this delightful tasting vino prompted us to buy a few bottles to bring back to “the lab”. Here’s where we learned the interesting bits about this Jeckyl and Hyde wine. Chilling the bottle brought out a heavy citrus taste with muted melon flavours; but as the wine warmed in the glass (i.e.: the glass started to sweat) the citrus subsided and the sweet apples, pears, honeydew and cantaloupe melons returned to the taste buds … a great experiment to try at home with this delicious wine, and see what side of this Muscat you enjoy.
