#133 Black Muscat

I stumbled across this Black Muscat in a grocery store in Egg Harbor WI. At first I figured it was likely just another name for an already tested grape. However it does appear to be its own varietal. While it will not help me achieve subquest #1 (completing the official checklist) it does get me one closer to completion of quest #2 (200 varietals).

This wine was well received despite the searing outdoor temperatures and its 19% abv. Served with fresh pie and ice cream this bottle hit the spot although it would certainly be fine on its own preferably on a cold winters night. There is the obvious sweetness yet there is enough acidity to keep it from being cloying. At $20 it is a relatively good value for a dessert wine.
