My Review:
I was really excited to try this wine because I hadn’t loved the other wines of this tasting... they weren’t sweet enough for me. Generally, I think it’s not too good to have high hopes or expectations for a wine because it generally leads to disappointment. This time however, I was not let down. The bubbles were definitely existent but kind of light for a Moscato. As for the color, I would describe it as a “starfish pink.” It definitely smelled fruity... like melons and grapefruit. It had a very tingly taste that started out sweet and tangy. It then progressed to a softer aftertaste filled with melon, peach, and grapefruit flavors. It was a little less sweet that most Moscatos. In my mind that was kind of a good thing because it makes for a milder version that is a little more drinkable. Usually Moscatos are almost too sweet making it difficult to make it through a glass of it, let alone any more than a glass. I would highly recommend this wine.

Pairings: I did
not try this wine with food but I think it would be good with a pound cake or
maybe some kind of fruit parfait or dessert.
