Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Made similarly to Icewine, but these grapes were hand-harvested at -6°C rather than the -8°C required for Icewine. The result is a sweet wine with less sugar and viscosity than Icewine, though still possessing all of the character concentration associated with it. A tropical fruit basket of mango, lychee, and peach with rose petals dancing around in the background. A strong line of acidity cuts the sweetness, refreshes the palate, and makes for a very food-friendly wine. No doubt a fine accompaniment for a pineapple lemon meringue pie or peach cobbler, but it would be equally wonderful before dinner with hard cheeses and spicy charcuterie.

Natalie's Review

Featherstone Select Late Harvest Gewürztraminer 2016, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: A lovely dessert wine with aromas of baking spice, lychee and lilies. This is a late harvest wine, not an icewine (Featherstone doesn't produce icewine) and so it has attractive sweetness but is not cloying. Pair with gingerbread men (and women). Drink: 2018-2023. 519033 12.40% S 375 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100. March 31, 2018 Top Rated White Wine. Calm Curry Wine Full Review

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.
