Wine review: This innovative blend from Beringer is the perfect harmony of Moscato, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. It brings together the vivid aromas and flavors of the Moscato grape with the classic red berry characteristics of Zinfandel and ripe black cherry flavors of Petite Sirah.
Wine Folly: A red zinfandel has hints of blackberry, strawberry, peach, cinnamon, and sweet tobacco (pg. 636). Muscat of Alexandria tastes like mandarin orange, honey, lychee, peach skin, white flowers (pg. 313). Petite Sirah tastes like sugar plum, blueberry, dark chocolate, black pepper, and black tea. It has high alcohol, body, and tannin (page 338).
My Review: A very light red and has a similar coloring to the White Zinfandel we drank on the same night.It smells like plum, dark chocolate, blackberry, honey, and peach. I get the blackberry the most with honey for sweetness. It also smells like a little bit of black tea for bitterness. It tastes mainly like blackberry. It also has hints of honey and black tea, which gives bitterness. It has taste of a red but the body of a white. It is good, not my favorite thing I have ever drank, but would rate it a 6/10.
