Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

For 18 bucks I don’t think a better white wine exists. Lots of unripe stone fruit, lemon, lanolin, grapefruit pith and a hit of unripe tropical fruit. Gorgeous and crisp. 92 Points
Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted July 6, 2018. Colour brilliant yellow with a green hue. Legs medium minus. Aromas and flavours of guava, lemon/lime, apple blossom, jasmine. Taste dry, refreshing, mouthwatering plus, low alcohol, medium minus body, medium to long finish of exotic fruit. I drank the wine as a refreshing drink in the warm summer heat. My wife who normally does not prefer white wine, enjoyed the taste and dryness of this white. I would like to try this wine with boiled lobster.




Natalie's Review

Tahbilk Marsanne 2017, Nagambie Lakes, Central Victoria, Australia: Lemon-yellow essence with some dry honey and white peach on this Australian white wine made from the lesser-known Marsanne grape, traditional to the Rhone Valley. Wonderful white that will get you out of that Chardonnay rut you’ve been in. Rhone grapes do very well in Australia's Victoria region due to the climate and soils there. Pair with veal. Drink: 2018-2021. 117945 12.50% D 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 91/100. June 9, 2018 Best Value White Wine. Plush Pork Wine  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
