Vintage Cellar Review: The inviting apricot preserves, honey, butter, and roasted almond aromas of this semi-sparkler pull you right in. It's on the sweet side, with stone-fruit flavors kept alive by decent acidity. The palate bubbles and tingles and maintains its balance. Fine as an aperitif or with dessert.
My Review: What is an aperitif? (answer in the comment? :D thanks) So everyone has had Moscato wine before, it's like beginner's wine, but this one was like a step up from that. The smell didn't surprise me: kinda fruity, kinda sweet, but not crazy. The taste was more complex than I have had in moscatos too. It was sweet to start, but left you with the dry after taste that you get with sauvignon blancs. This led to an overall balanced experience and not overly fruity like I expected. I'm realizing now though that I can't tell how to pick out a fruit flavor from a wine like these official reviews. If anyone else is having luck with that then post in the comments PLEASE!
