Lychee fruit, citrus sugar-bomb. Young, and certain to be a hit for hot-tubbing and summer porch-lounging. Sugar lingers in the throat- not unlike drinking a highly-sugared Mt. Dew. Entry-level: should be fun for those that are newly exploring the wine world. If you like this, be sure to try other Muscats from other producers. It's not a well-known variety of grape in the states. Well-crafted versions are still a bargain- even super-concentrated late harvests are a bargain. A good intro into the late harvest wines. Suggested vertical shift: Late harvest rieslings from Washington, Idaho, Germany or the Finger Lakes region. Sauternes are amazing as well, and can be cellared for your grandkids to enjoy. With so many great Moscatos available- I rate this an 8. I hear it's super cheap at GO, like $3. With the amount of sugar in this wine, and the cost- you might be able to lay down a couple bottles, if only to see if it may oxidize and develop a little complexity. 😆 Just joking; drink up
