Category: Dessert / Sweet Wine
Moon Shadow Maple Sugar
The taste of maple sugar in liquid form, without the fear of teeth-rotting sugar granules stuck between your teeth, or the sickening-sweetness that usually accompanies too much maple sugar. The wine passes through the mouth quickly with a short, yet luscious, finish. The smell might be a little off-putting to those who do not like port or sherry, as it does have those distinct qualities about it. In the mouth, the wine is thick and rich, while the finish is pure maple sugar; and it’s dentist ...

Harvest Estates 2001 Late Harvest Blue Bottle Chardonnay
I have heard many terms used to describe a sweet wine; my favourite is “a sticky” (used mainly for Port). I always thought it was because if you spilled a drop on the counter or table top it would become quite sticky, like honey or jam. Well with this wine you can take that description a step further and call it “a-sticky-lip-licker”. Turns out after each sip I found myself licking my lips repeatedly – being able to get another taste because the taste was always there. Then again, there real...

Cave Spring Cellars 2005 Select Late Harvest Cabernet
You’re going to see quite a few of these little darlings from the 2005 vintage. That’s because in early-December ’05 Ontario had itself some cold temperatures but they were erratic; we dipped to minus-8 (perfect temperature for icewine picking and production) in the early morning of November 24 but jumped quickly back to more seasonal temps within a few hours. Some wineries tried to take advantage of the first good freeze by running out to get a jump on their icewine picking and production. ...

Pillitteri Estates Winery 2004 Riesling Icewine
Pillitteri devotes 55% of their production to icewine … that’s a lot of frozen grapes and a lot riding on the hope of minus-10 degree weather, but when it works it pays off – and Pillitteri has many icewines that pay off handsomely; like this one right here. This Riesling is smooth and luscious in the mouth and a wine you could just sit and sniff all night long, if the taste weren’t so darn tasty. Dominated by apples and pears on the nose, with hints of sweet apricot and peaches lingering in t...

Jackson Triggs 2004 Late Harvest Riesling
A well made late harvest, or, as I like to call them, “poor man’s icewine”, is one of life’s great pleasures, and this one ranks right up there with some of the best I have ever had. A great nose with aromas of apple, apricot, peach and honey. On the palate a multitude of fruit flavours like apples, honeydew and kiwi; blended with spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. As it warms in the glass the fruit flavours strengthen for even more pleasure in the mouth. Not overwhelming in sweetness (9), ...
