Heather Wall rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Lovely as an aperitif with nuts or as dessert. This white Port style wine is made from Estate grown Frontenac Blanc and Traminette. Intense aromas and flavours of lychee, rose petals, apricot, honey and orange marmalade. Decadence from Prince Edward County and excellent value at sub $30. Great gift wine.
Tasted: October 2015

Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A pretty nose on this Wellington, Ontario with with pose petal, lychee and apricot. A luscious palate gives ripe apricot, mandarin orange and lemon custard. Satiny and rich from start to finish.

Veronica Leonard reviewed this wine as follows:

The winemaker's description says it all. This unusual wine is a blend of estate grown Frontenac Blanc and Gewürztraminer. The nose is reminiscent of fresh apricots, lychee and hints of rose petal. On the palate mandarin orange and lemon pie interplay with a kiss of hazelnut. Balanced acidity gives way to a lingering finish.
