TASTING NOTE: Here's a rare red Icewine from BC. It opens with lovely strawberry jam, cherry preserves and dried orange peel. The palate is elegant with balancing acidity, plenty of ripe fruit and some savoury red pepper jelly character. Chill and sip, or pair with strawberry-rhubarb pie. (VINTAGES panel, Jan. 2017) |
