Wine Ratings & Descriptions
|
|
Value Grade: A
The quality and flavors of this Ice Wine are much better than a similar German wine at three times the cost. This half bottle costs $28 at the winery.
Food Friendliness Grade: A
The blend of sweetness and acidity, and the sweet flavors of a goose liver pâté, creates an experience you will not easily forget.
Ability to Age Grade: A
The balanced acidity of this wine is not cloying in any way, but a great candidate for longevity.
Flavor Profile Grade: A
It has very ripe smells of apricots and white peaches with flavors of light honeysuckle.
Additional Notes:
The grapes are picked frozen and then made into wine. Very high harvest and residual sugar; 39.5 Brix.
