I’m bumping this up because it drank well over 3-4 days and had good acidity. In comparison this beat out the 2012 vintage, which I went through a 6 pack over multiple years. I’m glad to have more.
The price on these stateside is remarkable considering the least expensive ice wine in the Finger Lakes runs about $40/375ml and no Chenin options exist.
Such pure Chenin fruit, decent acidity, and this was compared directly with Kracher ice wines that were stunning. Usually comparing mind blowing stuff next to a bottle I bought for under $25US doesn’t bode well for the rest of the offerings.
Kiona Chenin Blanc Ice Wine is a WA State treasure IMO.

As with earlier note. Drinkable now with enjoyment but probably would have been better to hold for 18 months
