Vintage Cellar Wine Review: Bright, light golden color. Very aromatic nose of ripe apricots, sage, honey and a slight minerality. Medium bodied, sweet and fruity with flavors of apricots and tangerine. Well balanced and acidity and medium finish with layers of sweet and citrus fruit.
My Personal Wine Review: Delicious! Salmon pink color. The nose was the usual for a Moscato with a mix of sweet fruits like peach and mellon. The flavors is was really made this wine stand out to me. It had a "tight" mellon taste with complex flavors of strong green mellon entwined with crisp fresh apples. This was my favorite Moscato I have tried thus far and I would recommend this to everyone.
I did not have food with this wine.
