Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Candied berry nose, giving strawberry/rhubarb palate with honeyed texture. Enjoy with gingerbread.
Tasted Feb. 2019
Lakeview Cellars' Cabernet Franc Icewine is liquid raspberry preserves, light herbs and with a hint of chocolate and caramel on the palate. Rich on the palate with good acidity keeping the sweetness in check. Chill and enjoy with a chocolate tarte and raspberry coulis. Awarded Gold at the 2019 Ontario Wine Awards. - Community Wine Reviews
