Wine Review: "This innovative blend is the perfect harmony of Moscato, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. It brings together the vivid aromas and flavors of the Moscato grape with the classic red berry characteristics of Zinfandel and ripe black cherry flavors of Petite Sirah."

My Review: This Red Moscato had a flavor profile bursting of fruits like strawberry, raspberry, and plums. On the nose there was almost a sweet, cinnamon component that accented the fruity aroma. The palate echoed the aromas, with plenty of berry jam and candy - almost like a Swedish fish or strawberry Poptart taste. This was definitely a heavier Moscato than the previous ones I tasted. It was interesting to experience a blend of all three grape varieties, and this was not paired with food but I think a peach or cherry cobbler would go well with it.
