Have you ever walked down the wine eisle and been completely overwhelmed? Where to start first? What would go good with my dinner? Is this a good deal or just cheap?
It is my duty to inform, review and keep you updated on everything from name brands vs. family owned, history, location and great deals on everyday wines.

Will you drink to that?

Lindeman's "Bin 90 Moscato"

Greetings and Salutations!

Lindeman's has a series of wines ranging from "Reserves", "Early Harvest" and "Sweet Seasons" (to name a few). This review focuses on the "Bin" series, more specifically on the Moscato.

Lindemans was started in 1843 by Henry Lindeman who actually planted his first vine in New South Whales. It's current location spreads across southern Australia. For a minimal priced wine it is surprisingly high quality. The chardonnay is especially popular being named one of the five "Best Buys" of The Wine Spectator magazine. Author of The Wine Advocate, Robert M. Parker, Jr. quoted on the chardonnay as "one of the three or four finest chardonnay values in the world".

Anywho, on with the Moscato (average price $7.99 with screw cap). 

My findings are as follows.

-There is a slightly citrus aroma.
-It is sweet, but medium bodied. Not overwhelming.
-The mouth feel is beautifully silky.
-There is a slight sharpness, but it is not offending.
-The aftertaste has a slight citrusness with an undertone of honey.

I was incredibly pleased with this wine. I have found some to be either too sweet or not sweet enough.
My rating : 75/100.

If you find this wine, definitely give it a try. It goes very well with light salads and spicy schezuan food.

Enjoy!
