New ice wine producer for me from Yakima Valley. Paired well with Hedy's ice cream & sorbet creation. Nice array of stone fruits, marmalade, nuts, dry pineapple, wet stones, very good soft minerality, beautiful acidity, a thick, rich well polished finish with just the right amount of (RS) sugar.

Fruity on the nose. Light pear, peach, pineapple. Pairs well with dark chocolate truffles.

Another reviewer called this “liquid honey” and that’s a perfect description. The intense sweetness is well balanced by a bright acidity that keeps the wine from becoming cloying. Some flinty mineral notes help keep the palate clean.

Golden straw color, green tea, honey, jasmine and a hint of whiskey. Flavors of honey and dried apricot. Strong, sweet flavors. Not a bad ice wine.

Color of oaky whiskey. Nose of green tea, honey, jasmine, low alcohol nose. Taste of sweetness from honey, dried apricot, with flowering and tea notes. Nice, pleasant, and refreshing.
