Phenomenal aromas of tangerines, acacia blossoms, and sweet cherries explode from the 1997 Muscat Herrenweg de Turckheim. Since older vines produce lower yields and Muscat generally sells for a pittance compared to other varieties, Alsatians tend to replace their vines that are older than 25 years. This wine, crafted from 50 year old vines, has an intensely assertive character crammed with candied orange zests and spices. It is concentrated, massively flavorful, and exceptionally long in the finish. One of the few wines to work with asparagus, it can also be matched with spicy foods, or as an aperitif. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
