Elvio Tintero Moscato 2014

92
Elvio Tintero
Varietal: Moscato
Vintage: 2014
Retail Price: $13

Tasting Notes: When it comes to Moscato, seeing a single-vineyard expression at this price and quality doesn’t happen very often. This wine will turn the “I don’t like Moscato” customers into Moscato believers. You get all of the great Moscato characteristics, the aromatics, sweet melon and fruity freshness, without the cloying sweetness that comes along with it. The well-balanced, clean finish will keep you coming back for more.
