Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Kismet Estate Winery's 2014 Riesling Icewine from Oliver (in the heart of the Okanagan Valley), BC, Canada's Wine Capital, won top honours, the coveted Platinum Award, at the 2015 British Columbia Wine Awards, recognizing it as a top 1% of British Columbia wines.   The nose shows sweet apricot, caramelized apple, and luscious beeswax.  The palate is so deliciously creamy and refreshing with sweet and spicy orchard fruit on the long finish.  The Kismet Riesling Icewine would be delicious when enjoyed with any dessert, or spicy take-out dishes too, and for Halloween, feel free to throw any candy at it and be amazed with the pairing opportunities. Tasted October 2017. 93 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Penny reviewed this wine as follows:

Tropical, citrus, orchard stone fruits, slightly honeyed peach and apricot coming through in the front palette. Ample and balanced acidity. Serve with dessert after butter chicken

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.
