WHITE PROPRIETARY


NW-2544. 42 ICE WINE MI half bottle (H)
From vidal grapes intended for a winery that didn’t get off the ground. Bought by Fenn Valley and frozen. Won a trophy at the MI Wine Competition last year. We were served a fantastic sample last fall, but I never saw it on our supplier’s price list, so I thought is wasn’t available. And I’m surprised it’s still around, since trophy winners usually sell out real fast, and this one is priced very fairly for ice wine. Well, turns out they made 5000 gallons, and it IS in distribution. Just luscious, succulent./ Smashing, intense, fresh, beautiful. A has-it-all wine. 97/100.
