Pineapple peach nose. More pineapple, apricot, apple on the palate, with orange marmelade and ginger creme brulee. Pale peach in color. Syrupy sweet but surprisingly lively, with good acidity. Great ice wine for the price.

I enjoyed this as much as other ice wines costing more than twice the price. Delicious pear nose with plum and fig. Not just another boring sweet wine. I just ordered six more bottles. A steal for around $25.

Color was a very light golden honey with a translucent rim. A little more nose than most ice wines I've had in the past. Hard to descibe the smell as anything other than a sauternes without the earthy smell from the Botrytis.
The taste was very good. Initially green apple, apricots and honey with occasional glimpses of spice and maybe a medicinal note, but in a good way. The finish is really two parts. The flavor disapates after about 7 seconds, but that mouth watering feeling carries a bit longer. As the wine warms, the apple becomes more pronounced and the apricot gives way to pineapple. Unfortuantely, the tartness and acidic finish also start to overpower the sugars a bit.

Wines of Washington State (Fort Collins): Honeyed apricot nose. Searingly sweet but with great acidity to back it up. Really nice dessert wine.
