2003 Standing Stone Vidal Ice

Made from Vidal Blanc grapes from New York's Finger Lakes. Flash frozen so not truly an Eiswein. Bright golden yellow core with a medium yellow rim. Clean nose with a pronounced grape aroma. Spicy pineapple/tomato (salsa, perhaps?) on the nose. A sweet wine balanced out with crisp acidity and firm grip. Full bodied with great syrupy legs. Medium alcohol (10.5%) with a long finish. Fruit is pronounced pineapple and tomato ketchup with a mild peppery spice finish.

Very good quality. Drink now or hold 2-3 years.

Retail Price: $20/375ml
