Vintage Cellar Review: This fine sparkling presents and intense aroma of fresh berries and tropical fruits with hints of white flavor petals. Delicate bubbles caress the palate offering a silky and pleasant sweetness well balanced by a crisp, refreshing finish. Ideal on it own, as an aperitif or with all types of sweets and desserts.
My Review: The smell was extremely fruity and sweet like I figured moscato would be and the carbonation tickled my nose too. The flavor was extremely good too, one of the best moscatos I've had in a while. The sweetness was balanced with a sharp acid that kept it sweet, but added a depth to it that other moscatos don't have. I could tell from the room that it was a definite crowd pleaser. So would this be considered a sparkling wine too since it had bubbles? Or are wine labelers a lot more lax than I am making that out to be? I don't know, so please leave answers in the comments.
