Wow, we really enjoyed this wine! I was a little concerned that we may not appreciate sweet wines as much as we used to since our palates have become accustomed to quite dry wines, but I needn't have worried - we loved it! Although it is much sweeter than most of the NakedWines selections, it is nothing like the syrupy sweet wines that we used to drink before... from the first sniff, we knew we would love it. It smelled of peaches, pears, honeysuckle and melon. Each of those scents were distinctly present in the first sip, along with something quite floral. The finish had a distinctive raisin flavor that is present in a lot of moscatos - I wonder if it's a characteristic of the muscat grape? We paired it with baked mac n' cheese and sweet peas cooked in a wine reduction made from deglazing the pan that I caramelized onions in - and yes, I used this wine. It was amazing! The wine was probably a little too sweet for the mac n' cheese, but it was fantastic with the peas, and really good all by itself for dessert. Sweet lovers will be very pleased to see this one, and I'm relieved to say that we have not lost our taste for sweet wines and will be ordering more for ourselves, as well!
