Intense aromas of pineapple, citrus and vanilla, a luscious mouth feel, and rich, concentrated flavors whose sweetness is balanced by crisp acidity.
2006 Wine Advocate - 91 points - The medium gold-colored, fragrant 2006 Semillon Ice Wine Reserve offers up aromas of candied peach and pineapple, Viscous and very sweet on the palate, it is intensely flavored, well-balanced, and lengthy. It should drink well for a minimum of 8-10 years.
Ice wine is one of the world's rarest dessert wines. In order to make it, vintners must leave grapes on the vine until they freeze. In eastern Washington, this requires a Canadian arctic air mass and temperatures of 19°F or below. Brrrr!
Ice Wine is a scrumptious treat on its own or it can be delightfully paired with other desserts. We suggest enjoying Covey Run Semillon Ice Wine with: fresh fruits, especially strawberries, cream-based pastries, crème brulée and rich, creamy cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton.
