"Primary aromas include peach blossom, lanolin and Gala apple dusted with confectioners' sugar. Crunchy acidity gives this medium-bodied wine plenty of cut and a tart finish."
- Chateau Morrisette 2011 Vidal Blanc (Virginia) Rating and Review | Wine Enthusiast
Page 121:
This mentions that Vidal Blanc is an ice wine. This means the grapes have to naturally freeze in the vineyard. I just thought it was interesting because I remember in the lecture videos that harsh temperatures can kill grapes and ruin a harvest. Some of the specific flavors and aromas mentioned with this wine were pineapple, lemon curd, honeysuckle, apricot, and lychee. I was definitely able to get a lot of the pineapple, but I also got some peach too which was interesting because it was not mentioned.
My Personal Review:
I honestly really liked this wine, it was probably the second sweet wine that I have drank all semester. It was very light bodied I thought and refreshing given the warm weather we were having. I got a lot of fruit up front, specifically the pineapple, followed by a sweet finish
