On the nose, lively peach and tropical fruit aromas are kept in check by a cottony-chalky note. Not at all cloying, this Moscato is well balanced, with plenty of mango flavors. Finishes with garden-sweet honeysuckle and sunflower notes. Though Beaulac recommends it with spicy food (especially Thai), we think it’d be just as nice to sip on the beach.——W.E.(7/1/2002)—— 89
