Gallo Family Pink Moscato

Variety: Pinot Noir

Their review: "Light-bodied and bursting with aromas of fresh citrus and peach, followed by hints of fresh red berries and orange blossoms."

My review: Very light with a pink hue. Slow and sparse legs. Not a very enjoyable smell. Very plain and one-dimensional. Definitely getting the aforementioned peach, accompanied by a faint sweet smell. This smell shows up in the taste as an incredibly over-the-top sweetness that honestly has me doubting I'll finish the glass. It is entirely too sweet. A slight degree of carbonation seems to be prevalent that kind of helps with the sweetness... Though it's possible I'm confusing the carbonation with the alcohol, but such a low ABV leads me to believe otherwise. The body is extremely thin as well. I can't find a single thing in this wine that I like. From reading, it seems to be indicative of a typical pink Moscato - that said I think I can write this off my list of wines I will be purchasing in the future.
