Wine Critic Review: "The 2015 Smoking Loon “Blue Loon” Moscato opens with enticing aromas of honeysuckle, overripe honeydew melon, sundried apricot and a touch of honey, peach and mandarin. The palate presents ripe melon, peach nectar and orange blossom honey. The bright flavors and refreshing acidity make this Moscato the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of foods. Enjoy “Blue Loon” Moscato with brunch, light chicken dishes or summer appetizers. It’s also delicious served with biscotti, creamy desserts, or fresh fruits such as yellow or white peaches."

My Review: This was sweet, but less flavorful than Moscatos I have had in the past. It smelled floral and citrusy, and the taste was one of peaches, apricots, and generally the smell of summer. It would not be my first choice, as I prefer dry wines, and if I were going for a Moscato I would want it sweeter than this, but it was still refreshing. I did not have this wine with food.
