"93 pts ... The Non-Vintage Muscat is dark amber. It offers fragrant floral, honey, caramel, and raisin notes and is slightly fuller in body. Chambers Rosewood Vineyards makes my short list of greatest fortified wine producers.” --10/07
"Produced from Muscat a Petit Grains, or Brown Muscat as it is more commonly known, this
blend is comprised of material aged between six and ten years old. Amber gold in color with
copper hues, the nose offers fresh raisins, sultanas, lifted spirit and cinnamon oak spices. The
palate is rich and silky, its sweet dried fruits balanced by aged oak tannins and bright acidity,
providing a clean, rather than cloying, finish."
"In the warm fall climate the grapes ripen and shrivel on the vines producing natural sugar
levels in the range of 30-36 degrees Brix. The raisined grapes are then picked, crushed and
partially fermented before fortification. Wood aging follows in a program loosely resembling
a solera system, lasting, in same cases, for over 100 years."
