Frosty Dog

Name: Frosty Dog
Variety: Not listed
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2010
Price: $19.99

Winery Review: Freezing resulted in a concentrated, aromatic juice, which when fermented became this sumptuous, complex dessert wine. Aromas of apples, citrus, and orange blossoms are accentuated by lively acidity. The lingering finish drips with honey, pear, and subtle mango flavors. This delightful wine is a great dessert by itself, and can also be served as a aperitif.


My Review: This is the first ice wine that I have had. The aroma was very fruity and you could smell a hint of sugar. I must say that it is very sweet, much sweeter than I expected an ice wine to be. It has a very citrus taste, although you could clearly taste the honey. I would recommend this wine to people, but only with the caution that they need to drink it when they are in the mood for very sweet wines. This is not a wine I can see drinking often.
