Wine Critic Review: "This fun dessert wine has delicate aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and fragrant white flower. The bright foaming palate offers juicy yellow peach, candied nectarine zest and a hint of rose. It's sweet, but it also has enough fresh acidity to stop it from being cloying. Perfect for the afternoon, weekend, or any other time."
My Review: Moscato was first suggested to me when I was starting out drinking wine and had no idea what I would like. This was because it is very sweet, and while my pallet has expanded since I first had a sip of wine, I still appreciate the sweetness that dessert wines bring. This wine was pink, and smelled like roses, oranges, and lime. The sweetness could be tasted under the tongues on the side, and I quite enjoyed it - enough to buy it. I did not have this wine with food.
