Heather Wall rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

An excellent value Niagara icewine. Nutty, canned peaches, apricot, Niagara tree fruit, and honey. Nice length on a creamy finish. Enjoy on it's own or with cheese and fruit platters, over fresh strawberries, plum pudding.
Tasted: April 2015

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A pioneer in the ice wine industry, Reif has been producing world-class ice wine for 30 years and the quality of their ice wine speaks volumes to that experience. The 2013 Vidal Ice Wine is a deep golden copper, the nose is rich and inviting with stewed plums, botrytis notes, buckwheat honey, baking spice, and sweet raisins. A repeat on the palate. Heavy, creamy, and rich, this 2013 Vidal Ice Wine will put a smile on your face. I paired with fresh Italian Cannoli and it was divine! Tasted November 2014. 91 points. Matt Steeves - @QuercusVino

Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Enticing honeyed fruit on the nose, with a luscious palate giving honey, peach and candied nuts. Perfumey with a silky mouthfeel and a long candied nut finish. A wonderful gift to finish off a special meal.

Natalie's Review

Reif Estate Winery Icewine Vidal 2013, Niagara River, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Serious Platonic ideal of apricot preserves in this lovely Niagara icewine from Reif. Luscious layers of peach preserves fold over each other across your mouth and then bring on a tide of pleasurable sun-dappled orchard fruit on the finish. Pair with fruit flans and cobblers. Drink: 2014-2020. 544791 10% S 200 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100. July 23, 2016 Top Rated Dessert Wine. Divine Dessert Wine Full Review
