	Reif Estate Winery 2005 Vidal Icewine You probably don’t remember the winter of 2005/2006 … but I’ll tell you, our winemakers sure do – and they shudder at what could have been a disaster. 2005 was a great growing season in Niagara, but it is remembered mainly for it’s short crop because of the harsh winter of 2004. That following winter was mild, very mild; mild enough in fact that there was a scare in the air that potentially icewine would not be made because it was the middle of January and we had yet to get the prerequisite te...

	Pillitteri 2004 S. L. H. Cabernet Franc During the Icewine part of the Cab Franc Challenge, the panel had the opportunity to taste 2 wines at two very different ends of both the sweetness and price spectrum … one of those wines was the Pillitteri Select Late Harvest Cabernet Franc made from the second pressing of their icewine grapes.

Put the glass up to your nose and you get raspberry compote, not sickeningly sweet smells, more along the lines of inviting and dive r... Rating: 5,00 (3 Votes) [Hits: 338 ]
	Cattail Creek 2006 Barrel Fermented Vidal Icewine In the overcrowded world of icewine you’ve got to do something to make yourself stand out, especially if you’re a new winery. So Cattail decided to barrel ferment theirs – but not in just any barrel, a French oak mixed stave barrel (a barrel made of oak sourced from various forests in France) … now that is different. After fermentation, the wine was returned to barrel for further aging and to develop other flavours from its wood home (totaling about 3 months). So what, pray-tell, has this exp...
