2000 Sumac Ridge Pinot Blanc Ice Wine 375ml

The 2000 Sumac Ridge Pinot Blanc Icewine from British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley is a rare and charming Canadian dessert wine. While detailed professional reviews are limited, here’s what we can gather from community impressions and vintage context:

Nose: Expect aromas of honeyed citrus, dried apricot, and a touch of white flowers. Some tasters noted a subtle vinyl or mineral edge, reminiscent of aged Chenin Blanc.

Palate: Lusciously sweet and smooth, with flavors of baked apple, candied lemon peel, and stone fruit. The Pinot Blanc grape lends a soft, rounded texture, while the icewine process concentrates both sugar and acidity.

Finish: Medium to long, with lingering notes of caramelized fruit, citrus zest, and a gentle nutty warmth from bottle age.
