Tasting Notes
"The nose is a full-blown snowmageddon blizzard of flavors. Pear juice, creamy vanilla fudge, honey, toasted oak and loads of elegance. Sweet ice wine tropical notes such as lychee are layered deep and become more pronounced if you ride the storm out. A very soft palate that flashes in the middle with cinnamon and a hot pepper blend balances the experience. The finish is a delicate flurry with a touch of orange peel. If every winter storm was like this, then let it snow."
