Tasting: Attimo Winery Sonnet 98



  • Name- Attimo Winery Sonnet 98
  • Variety- Vidal Blanc
  • Region- Virginia
  • Country- United States
  • Year- 2010
  • Price- $17
  • Shop/wine critic/winery review- Dry, crisp, floral, hints of fresh greens.( From the tasting menu)
  • Your Review- At first glance it had a very nice goldish clear color, and upon first swirling it, it really brings out the beautiful goldish color even more. Once I took a smell I instantly knew I would enjoy this wine, the first thing to hit me was the sweetness in the smell, which could likely be attributed to the fruitiness missed with the floral notes that were quite evident. Taking a sip it reaffirms the smells I was able to grasp on the nose, it was quite fruity  and I could even taste the floral notes on the tongue. The wine overall was very good, but I thought it had an odd balance, although I cannot say precisely what was causing it, there was almost something missing. It was quite good but I do not believe I would drink it again.
  • I did not have food with this wine.
