Wayne Gretzky Estates 2005 Vidal Icewine

Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape Guy
DescriptionDescription  The label on the bottle proclaims “No. 99” – and while I don’t think anybody is about to give this wine that kind of score, it still scores in its own right. It’s icewine, so it’s sweet, and there is no mistaking that it has the pleasant aromas of honey, apricot and mucho dried fruit. The flavours follow suit with good sweetness and the taste of honeyed pears. I found myself taking a few extra sips and swallows just to make sure I liked it, and I did. It’s smooth and goes down a little too easy, so beware. Not the best and certainly not the greatest, but a good first season effort for No. 99.
