April 27, 2012 - Dessert Wine Tasting Party (Katie & Scott's House): believe it our not this was my WOTN. it was just a little more subtle and clean compared to the rest of the stickies. I went back for more, several times. Was the overall winner by the group as well.

March 5, 2011 - As an "ice wine" it has the extreme sweetness one would expect, and the unmistakable riesling signature. There is a strong minerality, almost a steel or flint aroma and taste quite unlike any riesling I've tasted before. A raisiny undercurrent emerges at the back of the palate which I ascribe to the freezing process acting on the skins prior to pressing. Not having tasted that many "ice wines", I frankly didn't know what to expect. This one is certainly not boring!

October 10, 2008 - I've had this wine several times in the past from other vintages or from the old Bonny Doon stock when they were making the same thing and this time around I was not nearly as happy with the results. For an icewine, even a faux icewine like this, there needs to be a little more sweetness and viscosity then what is present here. While there is a decent amount of residual sugar present, it just doesn't seem to manifest itself into a pleasing flavor in the wine itself. The texture is a bit thin and flavors are just not up to par with past offerings. Having said all of that, this is still drinkable but just nothing to get really excited about.
