The gorgeous nose of strawberries and other summer fruits is just what one expects after seeing the striking peach color on this ice wine from the Finger Lakes. The palate is a bit disappointing, with some astringency and a bit of volatile acidity on the finish. Nonetheless, it has good flavor intensity and enough freshness to keep the very high level of residual sugar from becoming cloying. ——W.E.(2/1/2009)—— 85

A fragrant nose of fig, strawberry and apple entices, and on the palate, it’s smooth and subtle. There’s a touch too much fig among the waves of lush strawberry, but overall it’s an enjoyable dessert wine from a dependable producer.——S.K.(7/1/2007)—— 84
