Tasting: Jam Jar Sweet White


Name: Jam Jar Sweet White
Variety: Muscat
Region: N/A
Country: South Africa
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95


Vintage Wine Cellar (Mike): "Soft floral hints add depth to the otherwise straightforward ripe peach and nectarine aromas. There's a good balance in the mouth, with a nice acidic lift and slightly lime edge to cut the sweetness on the finish and close with the faintest hint of honeydew melons."


My Review: This muscat was very sweet just like it's name suggests. I liked this wine but I dont think I could drink too much of it because of its high levels of sugar/sweetness. It had a flowery and peach-like aroma and taste that helped open up the wine on the palate. I really did have a floral,earthy, and peach-like texture and characteristics that I really enjoyed. This is for sure a desert wine that would go well with peach cobbler or chocolate cake. Good wine overall though.
