Category: Dessert / Sweet Wine

Colio 2002 Select Late Harvest Cabernet Franc

For a late harvest this wine is not overly sweet – in fact, it has an oddly surprising dry sensation somewhere in the midpoint to the finish. A lovely raspberry nose invites the drinker in to it’s embrace – and makes you believe that it is a genuine teeth-rotter with sweetness to spare. Your first sip and it hits you right away - an unmistakably sweet raspberry taste, then as the wine makes it’s way through the mouth the tartness of raspberries hits the back palate … ending on a surprisingly p...

Pilliteri Estates Winery 2004 Cabernet Franc Icewine

Pilliteri has been making Cabernet Franc icewine since 1998, and a whopping 55% of their production is devoted to making icewine, so if any winery is going to do it right, they will. This 2004 version is loaded with sweet chocolate strawberry, wildflower honey and candied peach – there’s also some rhubarb and sweet red pepper jelly on the nose. In the mouth it’s thick and lush with an amazing sweet strawberries and cherries dipped in milk chocolate taste, awesomely delicious. Jaime Slingerlan...

Vineland Estate Winery 2004 Select Late Harvest Vidal

If you’re a fan of late harvest wines, then have I got a recommendation for you. Vineland’s low alcohol (8.8%) sweety is the perfect after dinner sipper and truly lives up to the moniker of “poor-man’s-icewine”. The nose has plenty of tropical fruits like pineapple, tangerine, lychee and some honeyed pear … in the mouth it’s the 3 S’s - soft, supple and smooth – what’s on the nose is found on the tongue, along with a touch of wildflower honey. What’s more, it’s not overpoweringly sweet – perf...

Cox Creek Cellars Spiced Iced Russet

Oh baby, is this ever good! Quite possibly one of the best dessert wines I have ever tried, certainly the best apple wine. Smells of apples and cinnamon emanate from the glass, and the taste does not disappoint. Those same flavours appear on the tongue with caramel and brown sugar … I’d like to call it “baked apples in a glass”, but there’s so much more. How’d they do it? The wine is blended with a variety of spices (that remain a secret known only to the winemaker and his wife – both owner...

Moon Shadow Strawberry Shortcake

Tastes like strawberries with a hint of sweetness … no better yet, remember the wonderful strawberry flavoured milk that was the by-product of eating that children’s cereal Frankenberry (later on known as strawberry Quik) – now it’s yours to have in the glass, with alcohol. Smooth and creamy in the mouth, but not as thick as a glass of strawberry-milk. A delicious after dinner drink … and frightfully good. I’m now waiting for their Boo-Berry knock-off....
