Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Not everyone enjoys wine made from grapes and B.C. has a wine for that. Northern Lights Estate Winery is British Columbia’s northernmost winery. Facing the beautiful Nechako River and not far from downtown Prince George, Northern Lights is a stunning winery on the riverfront.

Seduction 2019 is one of many fruit wines created there and is a fragrant, off-dry, creamy strawberry and rhubarb wine blend that really tastes of strawberries and cream. Balanced with good acidity, softly sweet and mouth-filling, it is delicious chilled on its own, but we also paired it with a traditional Polish cheesecake (Sernik) made from farmer’s cheese (dry curd cheese). The wine is a bit sweeter than this style of cheesecake and it’s like have a strawberry cheesecake with the strawberry topping in a glass. The winery suggests pairing it with spicy, smoked meats or a summer salad topped with fresh raspberries.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
