Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A heady fragrance of strawberry, orange peel and red berries immediately entices, and the flavors that follow do not disappoint. The wine is elegant and flavorful, with a balanced amount of acidity and sweetness, and the mouthfeel is creamy as well as lively—a tough balance to strike but one that is successfully achieved here. Delicious and accessible.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The pineapple, honey and lemon aromas of this elegant, golden wine are delicate, but on the palate, the wine is assertive and complex. Buttery and rich, but lightened by tropical fruit flavors, it has a balanced acidity and a lengthy, pleasureable finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Intense flavors of mango, melon and apricot lead on this lively but rich dessert. The palate is bursting with flavor but layered spice softens and adds depth. The sweetness is enhanced by a pretty floral character that lingers through the finish. Imported by Wine Emporium.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Elegant and integrated, this pale pink icewine has a complex nose of flowers, maple syrup and strawberry, followed by round, lush flavors of strawberry, raspberry and tropical fruit. It’s a touch sweet and heavy on the mouth, but the flavors are lively and the finish lingering with a light finesse. A lovely picnic wine that will pair well with most foods.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A floral perfume combines with notes of smoke, sweet pineapple and candle wax on the nose and palate of this deep gold Vidal Blanc icewine. Vibrant acidity and a hint of bitter tangerine rind on the long, long finish add complexity and structure.

Pillitteri Vidal Blanc - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Clean, elegant and with a poised balance of creaminess and spice, this is a delicate but luscious summer sip. Apricots and cloves on the nose and palate are complex but not overwhelming, and the honeyed finish lingers without unwanted weight, thanks in part to a measured acidity. Will pair well with desserts, but is good on its own.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tempting on the nose with scents of strawberry jam, honey and spice, Pillitteri’s Cab icewine boasts rich, sumptuous strawberry flavors with a hint of bitter plum skin notes and a bright, sunny acidity for balance. There’s a some lingering sugary sweetness on the finish, but overall, still quite nice.
