Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

A lovely, rich wine with aromas of peach preserves, ripe apricot and marmalade. Perfect for after-dinner, either with dessert or on its own. Food matches: strong, rich cheeses such as Gargonzola or Brie, spicy or salty appetizers before dinner, fruit-based desserts.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Our Oldfield Series Kerner Icewine was harvested on December 7, 2009 between 7am and 9am. It was a chilly -11 Celsius when everyone arrived to start picking. It took 2 hours for our one acre of Kerner to be picked and another four hours for the grapes to be pressed. After pressing the Kerner was moved to stainless steel barrels where it fermented over the next six weeks. After fermentation the Kerner aged in the stainless steel barrels for several months before bottling at the end of April 2010.
