The 2013 Dindarello (375ml) is a pure expression of Moscato that delivers on all the promises made by this extremely fragrant grape variety. The bouquet is soaring and tall with candied orange, almond marzipan, lemon meringue, butterscotch and spring flower. Ultimately, the effect is more about intensity than it is complexity, but that suits this fresher and younger style of dessert wine just fine.

Dindarello is a fresh and lively dessert wine (made with fragrant Moscato grapes) that shows immediate aromas of lemon zest, peach cobbler, white almond and chopped mint. It boasts medium density capped by a touch of zesty grapefruit.——M.L.(12/15/2011)—— 90
