Reviews and Ratings

Janet Holden rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This vidal ice wine is a lovely golden colour with notes of candied orange, dried apricot, honey and baking spices on the nose.

On the palate, the candied orange and dried apricot flavours dominate with flavours of lemon, honey and tropical fruit.
Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Deep Golden/amber color with straw hue.

Aromas of tangerine, honey, apple pie and apricot.
This wine is complex, lively and long on the palate.

Serve it at 6-8 degrees.
Ready to drink but can be aged 8-10 years.
Pair it with a good foie gras.

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.
