Wine Folly: (page 149) The text does not have a page dedicated to Moscato wines, but some research has lead me to conclude that Pinot Gris/Grigio is comparable. Pinot Gris is famous for making zesty white and pink wines. It typically features fruity flavors of white peach, lemon zest, and cantaloupe. Some styles may include notes of almonds and/or gravel.
My Review: Unfortunately, I forgot to refrigerate this wine prior to opening it. As soon as I opened this bottle of strawberry Moscato, I was hit with the powerful aromas of fresh strawberries that immediately broadcasted images of the green and polka-dotted red strawberry fields of summertime. Further swirl and sniffing revealed scents of strawberry jam, bubblegum, and hints of lime and spruce. Upon tasting, I was surprised that it was not overly sweet and, instead, refreshing with a more muted sweetness. It had some malic acid bite to it, but not much. It also did not taste strong in alcohol. There were hints of spruce or rosemary as well. It reminded me of a fruit rollup snack. Overall, I really enjoyed this wine and found it to be better when I didn't hold it in my mouth to pick out flavors, much like Kool-Aid.
