 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 9/23/2017 & rated 90 points: From a 50ml bottle. Yes, that is 50ml. Not sure where this came from but it has been in our fridge door for years. Screw capped. Oddly enough, the wine was not finished as there is about 5ml left. I will drink it now I guess. Medium golden in color. The nose has canned peaches. Very nice. Good acidity. Sweet and getting close to cloying. The peaches come thru to the palate. Nice finish. Fun size. Would make a good Halloween treats for the parents. (4077 views)
 Tasted by FransS on 1/3/2016 & rated 85 points: Strange wine, too hefty acidity, too sweet, no balance between sour and sweet, bouquet too pronounced with a nice apricots, in the taste the apricots combine with bitters and at the end the wine stays unbalanced.
However, also a very interesting wine. (5064 views)
 Tasted by RayOB on 3/1/2015 & rated 88 points: Drank at Davy's
Slightly too sweet for my taste with lots of apricot, honey and mango. (5551 views)
 Tasted by ManhattanBeach on 5/4/2013: Very nice dessert wine; apricots & mangoes, went well with strawberries & meringue (6522 views)
 Tasted by AIB on 5/4/2013 & rated 93 points: Proof that god loves us.... Canadian ice wine rules. (6685 views)
 Tasted by gghezzi on 12/23/2011 & rated 90 points: Apricot dominating the nose on the first whiff, followed by some candied fruit, honey mango and a little of rose. In the mouth the same, apricot above all, with some candied tropical fruit. Very nice golden color, thick, almost sirupy. Needs to be cold or it could get overwhelmingly sweet and dense (4202 views)
 Tasted by mdkraft99 on 11/13/2011 & rated 92 points: Didn't take formal notes, but agree with previous review, bordered on too sweet, but a very nice dessert wine, had with samples of pumpkin creme brulee and blue cheese cheesecake (3278 views)
 Tasted by AIB on 10/22/2011 & rated 90 points: sweet and deliious as always! Go canada! (4065 views)
 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 7/3/2011 & rated 90 points: Sineann wines and whole bunch of other stuff (Our home): Nice wine made from Vidal Blanc. Aromas of canned peaches which is very good. Slightly viscous. Sweet. Easy to drink. Not super complex but very good. From a 200ml so it went fast. (5785 views)
 Tasted by The New Alcoholic on 10/11/2010 & rated 94 points: An excellent sweet wine with mango nose and palate and high acidity that made it really enjoyable and not cloying at all. Recommended! (3037 views)
 Tasted by graemeg on 8/2/2010: [200ml, 11.5%, cork] Straw colour. Marmalade nose. No botrytis here. Actually smells icy. Lusciously sweet, but tinglingly acidic as well. Somewhat linear in flavour; vidal icewines don’t to me have a lot of complexity in the way of flavour, but the dance between sweetness and acidity provides the thrills. Good but not great.
