Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

The 2017 Cabernet Franc Ice Wine by Riverview Cellars Estate Winery, located in the Niagara wine region, is next level decadent! This exquisite elixir offers aromas of apricot, mango, cooked pineapple, honeysuckle, nectarine and citrus zest. Light-bodied with an infinite finish, this ice wine shows flavors of apricot, mango, lime, cantaloupe, guava and honey that will take you to paradise. Enjoy!
