Dale Camroux-Peacock rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A recent staff tasting with Regan Kapach, winemaker at 16 Mile Cellars, brought a wonderful level of enthusiasm to my team at the restaurant. To be privileged enough to present the consumer with wines of Niagara is only made that much more special when you know the winemakers and the winery story. Passion and commitment to the product and where it comes from is all that go into this stellar example of Niagara Chardonnay. A Gold Medal winner at the 2016 Ontario Wine Awards we found 16 Mile Cellar 2012 Rebel Chardonnay to be a medium bodied, well balanced chardonnay with notes of apples simmering in butter and gentle spice. French oak brings a delicious vanilla component. For these reasons this Chardonnay is another great addition to our by the glass program at Wellington Court Restaurant and a highly recommended Niagara Chardonnay!

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.
