Shop/wine critic/winery review: "The rosiness of red, the sweetness of Moscato, and the sparkle of bubbles. With a gorgeous soft red hue, it's fresh, spritzy, and crackling with vitality. Each sip is bursting with vibrant strawberry and raspberry flavours and hints of other forest fruits. The berry flavours are enhanced by millions of fine, dancing bubbles. This is a refreshing and soft wine with a fine and crisp finish.
My Review: Well it smells like straight sparkling grape juice. I always have a hard time comparing sparkling wines and Moscato to all other wines because they're so different. It's like a mixture of soda and sugar and alcohol. Not that that's a bad thing. This sparkling red Moscato in particular was pretty good. It tasted very fruity and bubbly and sweet, kind of like those sparkling grape juices. Very heavy grape taste, like a sour grape candy, but this was actually a bit more dry than I expected which is an interesting twist. I'd definitely try this one again-it's very fun!
This tasting was made at Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
