Tasting - "Canyon Road Moscato"

Name: Canyon Road Moscato
Variety: 100% Muscat Blanc
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Regular Price: $12

Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
Floral, with tea rose and cherry blossom notes, this balanced moscato shows flavors of ripe white cherry, candied plum and almond on the smooth finish.






 
Personal Tasting Notes: 
This was a moscato that was a clear gold color and very floral bouquet of scent. The wine actually smelled like a cup of herbal tea particularly jasmine.  Additionally, it was a light and somewhat sweet wine.  The flavor of the wine also had indicators of pear to me.  As this was such a light wine it had little to no lingering on the palate which made it more appealing to me.  Also it was not terribly dry which was also an advantage in my opinion. 

I tried this wine without food but I feel it could go well with something such as maybe some light pastries and tea or something.
