Summerhill Pyramid Winery Chalice at Orion's Belt NV
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAn unusual wine that blends merlot ice wine with late harvest merlot, riesling and chardonnay aged out-of-doors (in barrel) and baked in the sun. Tawny light red colour. Look for a big rancio, soya, cherry, almond, toasted leather nose with some dried fig and slightly volatile notes. Rich, round and sweet but balanced with fine acidity. Very nutty, cherry jam, rancio, orange peel and wood flavours with a long finish. A curiosity and a creative use of ice wine to get the wine sweet without fortifying the base wine with brandy.Tasted: 07 August 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $29.95 | 750ml | Winery Only |
