Bright and fresh, with a bit of tang and spice on the finish. Unoaked icewines from Inniskillin have more weight and richness, but this seems sunnier and livelier. It leans a little more to grapefruit than apricot, although that’s a relative term for this style of wine. I liked this a lot. It’s a beauty. Drink 2021-2034. —M.S.
The 187 ml package—one-quarter of a regular bottle—suffices for two sweet-toothers given the richness of the wine. A deep gold color, the wine is thick on the palate and loaded with flavors of dried apricot, peach, cooked pear, papaya, and crystallized sugar. The acids keep it from becoming too cloying. —P.G.
