Reviews:
"This popular white wine is a semi-sweet Riesling-Traminette blend, using Vidal Blanc for added depth. Aromas of melons, citrus fruits, apricots, and delicate flowers highlight the soft finish of this soothing wine. Serve chilled with fruits and cheeses, fish, or spicy foods."

My review:
This white wine was a pale color. It had a very sweet and fruity aroma. Smelled of apricots and citrus, with a light floral aspect. I thought it smelled very similar to some other reislings I've tried. It tasted fruity and was rather sweet. I don't usually like overly sweet wines as they can get a very sugary, grape juice taste. The sweetness of this wine was nicely balanced by the acidity and the fruity flavors stood out more than the sugar. I was able to try this wine at Chateau Morrisette and it went nicely with fruit and cheese. It would be a good wine for relaxing on a nice day.
