Natalie's Score: 91/100

I was delightfully surprised by this lovely after-dinner wine! I usually find red-grape icewines strange creatures, but this one is utterly delicious. It offers a river of red berry flavour that isn't cloying: strawberries, cherries and raspberries all roll across your tongue. Lovely!

Reviews and Ratings

These grapes were hand harvested on January 1, 2008 from the Dark Horse Vineyard at -9 Celsius and 42 Brix.

This full bodied, light strawberry coloured special release is characterized by fresh apple, cherry, and raspberry aromas on the nose. Ripe berry fruit flavours balanced with refreshing acidity and a hint of tannins grace the palate.

A Gold medal winner at the All Canadian Wine Championships 2009!

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.
