Tasting - Jam Jar Sweet White

Name: Jam Jar
Variety: Moscato
Region: ?
Country: South Africa
Year: 2014
Price: $8.95 
Shop/wine critic/winery review:
This charming, easy-drinking Moscato offers flavors of peach, apricot, lychee and orange blossom. A lively jolt of acidity keeps it fresh and fruity. Fancy enough for a special occasion toast, yet sweet-natured enough to enjoy every day, our bright and cheerful sweet wines are sure to capture your heart.
Your Review:
I appreciate the the Vintage Cellar wants to end on a sweet now, but I am still not a fan.  I need to learn what lychee is, because I definitely tasted the apricot.  Very syrupy, but classic of a Moscato.  A nicer Moscato, but that's a bit relative.  I heard they make a red wine thats pretty delicious.  I may have to try that.
