Drink this wine now is right because it is not going anywhere or get any better. Wait...it is not even good now. Dark in color, flat with no taste or nose to speak of. The wine is not mature, just muted with just nothing there. Doesn't even come close to a ca cab including a mature one (which by the way are the best). Very disappointing for a $60 bottle bought directly from the winery. I was not impressed with the winery or wines but wanted to be fair and give it a try. Maybe if they put their money into making quality wine instead of what the winery should look like they would have better results. PS-don't waste your money on their $50 375ml dessert wine either.

Drinking really nice right now. Perfect blend of sweetness and acidity. Had this with grilled peaches drizzled in honey and all I can say is WOW! This is true icewine!

Had this in a magnum and boy did it turn out good. The fruit was still there but not dominant which is what we like. Nice earth and anise. Color was a nice ruby red. Tannins were smooth and this wine even had a little silkiness to it. Drank this over a couple of hours and it just kept getting better. What a great Thanksgiving.
