LAKEVIEW |
| This 200 ml botttle has a lifted, pretty raspberry jam, cinnamon and pink rose florals. It is medium weight, sweet of course, but balanced by excellent, slightly sharp acidity. Reviewed by fellow wine writer David Lawrason. It has according to the LCBO website 11.5% alcohol and 174 g/L residual sugar, whereas the winery TECH sheet says 168 g/L residual sugar and 8.46 g/L total acidity |

| A thick and ultra flavourful elixir through the herbal and herbaceous character of cabernet franc made into real, intense and vivid Icewine. Like a granita made with cranberry, cherry and liquid pepper, performative and gregarious. Sufficient acidity (at 10.9 g/L) keeps the energy alive and yes this represents the category well, but its sweetness 205 g/L of residual sugar feels to be everything. Drink 2025-2028. Tasted July 2025. Score - 91. (Michael Godel, winealign.com) |
