Tasting: Toschi Vineyards Pink Moscato

 

Tosche Vineyards Pink Moscato

-Grapes: Muscat Canelli

-Country: United States

-Region: Madera, California. Inland Valleys (Wine Folly)

-Vintage: 2018

-Price: $10

-Critic Review: Delightfully sweet with an elegant scent of honeyed apricots and white peaches. The wine is well balanced with a lingering finish of sweet and creamy fuzzy peach and honeydew melon flavors. Our Pink Moscato is 11.8% alc.

-Wine Folly Tasting Notes: The Primary Aromas are in the Tree Fruit/Melon category (pg.30). Rose wines are best paired with cured meat and white meat (pg.61). Going off of wines that are similar to Pink Moscato, there are major notes of apricot, honey, honeydew, and lemon. The Inland Valleys of California are characterized by a very wide variety of wines but not necessarily quality.  

-My Review: The color is similar to Pale Salmon in Wine Folly. I definitely smell the peach and maybe a little pear. It smells sweet. Upon tasting it, I do not get the peach as much, but more so the pear and maybe some apricot. It is not as sweet as you might expect, with not a very long aftertaste which is nice because really sweet wines almost have a sweet “bite” at the end which this does not have. On the Wine Folly scale from "Bone Dry" to "Very Sweet" I would put it at "Sweet". As a result this is a very refreshing and drinkable wine. It is also is not very acidic. I drank this without food.
