Winery Review
Bright, light golden color. Very aromatic nose of ripe
apricots, sage, honey and a slight minerality.
Medium bodied, sweet and fruity with flavors of
apricots and tangerine. Well balanced acidity and
medium finish with layers of sweet and citrus fruit.
 
My Review
I absolutely love Moscato, by far my favorite wine I have discovered through this class! When I first smelled this wine I got an overwhelming delightful smell of apricots and peaches. Once I tasted it those flavors were enhanced and there was an addition of honey and sweetness. Overall, this was not the best Moscato I have had, but it had a wonderful blend of sweet, acid and fruit creating a crisp and refreshing flavor without an overwhelming alcohol taste or smell. I did not try this wine with food, but would love to try it with a fruit dessert or cheese.
