Tasting - Jam Jar Sweet White

Name: Jam Jar Sweet White Blend

Variety: 100% Muscat

Region: Western Cape

Country: South Africa

Year: 2011

Price: $9 (sale)

Vintage Cellar review: 100% Muscat. 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: If you want something sweet, this wine's got you covered!  Immediate and intense themes of flowers and fresh air almost overpower the nose. It smelled like I smashed my face into a bouquet of flowers. Very aromatic! On the taste, it is very sweet, crisp, fruity, and it has a great balance of its sweetness and fruit. I would have this wine by itself or with a pasta dish with a light cream sauce. 

I had this wine without food.
