Tasting - Barefoot Moscato




Name: Barefoot Moscato 

Variety: 100% Moscato

Region: California  

Country: United States

Year: 2022

Price: $7

Wine Critic Review:  "Overall, this Moscato performed perfectly and would easily pair with the foods mentioned above.  On their website they also mention that this wine would be a good compliment to coconut cream pie.  Nowadays, many restaurants serve a cheese plate as a dessert.  Barefoot Moscato came to mind as the perfect compliment to that" (Jon Rogers). 

Wine Folly: pg 138:  An ancient aromatic white variety originally from Greece that’s available in all styles from dry to sweet, still to sparkling, and even fortified.  Drier styles pair well with salads, sushi, and fresh fruit. Sparkling Moscato d’Asti is excellent with almond cake. Fortified Muscat tastes great with cheeses and nuts.

My Review: Tangy aromas with quite a fruity smell, specifically picking up pineapple and a hint of strawberry. Extremely sweet taste, with pineapple and peach standing out as the strong flavors.

Would I Buy Again?: No - it really isn't the fault of the specific wine either as I prefer a dry wine to a sweet wine.
