Year: 2009
Wine: Moscato
Drank: 6/26/2011
Villa Bellangelo is a winery located on the western shore of Seneca Lake.
The color is a pale gold, almost clear, the effervescence clearly visible. Sugar dominates the aroma, though grape and lychee seep in. It is immediately sweet and never truly varies from that. The fruits are a little stronger on tasting. Grape and lychee are complemented by pineapple. However, sugar is ever present.
While this wine isn't particularly my taste, it can be very refreshing and would go well with dessert where the sugar would fade with other sugary flavors.
Rating: 5/10. The rating is reflective of the strong sugar flavors that overpower all the other fruit flavors. I could see someone who prefers sweet wines rating this higher because of this. In fact, it is one of my mother-in-law's favorite wines.
