Critic Review: The 2014 FlipFlop Moscato begins with light floral, citrus, and orange peel aromas. The wine tastes...Sweet! The predominant flavors are apricot, peach, orange zest, and honey with some pineapple on the finish. There's also a nice little bit of underlying minerality. A soft light-bodied wine that goes down easy. One sweet little number -- figuratively (the taste) and literally (the price).
My Review: I was slightly skeptic of this particular moscato because of the extremely low price. While it was not the best moscato I have had, it was surprisingly good given the price. The smell was full of flavors that were both fruity and floral, and I did detect a hint of pineapple. This moscato had a pretty standard taste, and there was not much of a zing to it. Some of the more prominent fruit flavors were a little overwhelming, but overall this was not a bad wine. It was suggested that this wine be drank with spicier dishes, and I agree that it would compliment them quite nicely.
Overall, I enjoyed this wine and its low price!
