Jackson Triggs Vidal Icewine 2007 and 2006 Tasting


Proprietors’ Reserve

2006 & 07
10.5% abv
187ml bottle
Just over $20.00 a bottle
Jackson-Triggs Estate Wines
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada

The two different vintages look almost the same.  Both are golden yellow , the 06 might be a tad lighter but, you could not tell the difference riding by on a horse. 

The aroma on both is sweet.  Honey is the main profile.  The 07 reminds me of honey dipped tropical and the 06 reminds me of honey dipped peaches. 

Flavor 2006: Oh is that beautiful, sweet honey dipped summertime fruits.  Peaches, nectarine, sweet apple

Flavor 2007: Oh do I love ice wine, this one reminds me of honey dipped tropical fruits; papaya and mango and then there is a splash of summertime nectarine.

When you drink this wine you should use an Ice Wine glass which holds about 50ml. And, that is all you should drink of this lovely sweet wine. The sugar content is really high.

The Jackson Triggs Vidal Ice Wine has a fantastic summertime fresh fruit and tropical fruity flavor. The papaya and mango covers the tropical and the nectarine covers the summertime fruit. That sweet, syrupy, ripe nectarine in a glass.
