Weis Vineyards Riesling Ice Wine 375Ml

The 2017 Riesling Ice Wine comes in with 190 grams of residual sugar, 9.3 of total acidity and 8.7% alcohol. This was frozen the old-fashioned way—on the vine. All you have to do is smell this to know what comes next. The sugar is obvious, of course, but the fruit is very ripe and concentrated, with the essence of the grape dribbling across the palate. The finish is long. This is spectacular now, so delicious that it will make you swoon. Actually, you might do that just from smelling the ripe apricots. Actually tasting it will be when you add the ooohs and aaahs. As delicious as it is, it is also balanced by good acidity. As spectacular as this now shows, if you hold it a decade or more—and it will likely last for decades—it will also acquire more complexity. Buy one to drink now, and one (or more) to cellar. It will likely live as long as many people reading this, so take the drinking window as just a rough estimate.  Wine Advocate
