Julian Hitner tasting note: Brilliant, medium red-cranberry colour. Intense baked strawberries and cranberries, with red raisins, floral scents, and a hint of spice. Clean, with sweet, tasty fruit, balanced acidity, and a satisfying hint of baked strawberries on the finish. Nicely done: simplistic, yet approachable, balanced, and tasty; though perhaps a tad cloying. Overpriced in my estimation. Now-2013. |

TASTING NOTE: A very rich Cabernet Sauvignon icewine that benefited from the intense heat of [the] 2007 vintage. Stacked with guava, raspberry, strawberry and plum jam, and lighter accents of thyme honey, the finish hangs around on the taste buds for a long time. Chocolate fondue would just be a mind blowing experience with this stickie. Score - 92. (Evan Saviolidis, www.winesavvy.ca, Sept. 2008) |
