Pillitteri 2006 i Baci Vidal Icewine

The i Baci line was developed as a cellared in Canada (blended from foreign and domestic wines) brand with a funky, eye-catching picture on the label. But a true icewine cannot be a blend with foreign product, hence this is the only VQA product to bear the i Baci label. A very nice, well made icewine – consistent with Pillitteri’s other icewines. You’ve got your peaches, apples, pears, apricots and sweet honey on both the nose and taste, and a price tag that makes it an excellent value for th...

Stratus 2007 Red Icewine

A blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah that has a striking nose of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry with a hint of rhubarb pie. It’s full-on red fruit bowl in the mouth - so delectable and luscious you won't be able to stop sipping. I believe it's even better then last year's version, and I had nothing but praise for that one. Price: %39.00/200ml ...

Huff Estates 2007 First Frost

This is an odd little wine, more in the way it’s made than the way it tastes. Two-thirds of the Vidal grapes from this vineyard are harvested at the regular time and made into a bone-dry white wine; then in January the remaining third of the grapes are picked when they are raisin like and the sugar content is around 45 brix. The juice is then squeezed out of these pseudo-raisins and added to the bone-dry wine – kicking the sweetness up to about a three and taking the alcohol back by a point or...

Ice House Northern Ice S.L.H. Vidal 2006

I love a late harvest wine, I have been calling them “poor man’s icewine” since I tasted my very first from Hillebrand back in 1993. The reason is simple, the price, as you will notice, is more than half of what you’ll pay for a good icewine, while the sugars are almost cut in half too – but the flavours are all there. This one, from the icewine specialist at the Ice House, have lots of apple and tropical fruit on the nose, while in the mouth there’s more tropical fruit flavours with tastes of...

Cave Spring 2004 Riesling Icewine

With 7 Rieslings on the Cave Spring roster you have to believe that this is their favourite grape to work with. This is their sweetest version and is a real Rosh Hashanah wine. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, and on that holiday it is tradition to eat pieces of apple dipped in honey to signify having a sweet new year. A nose of apples and honey with a palate that echoes the nose, while adding some peach and floral into the mix. The finish is a total apples and honey experience – which ...
