Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

What a terrific Sauvignon Blanc expression from this boutique Niagara Peninsula winery. Sauvignon Blanc is their signature white wine and this micro block expression is just beautiful. Super expressive, it shows exotic and tropical fruit with this lively herbaceous frame. The palate is crisp and refreshing with sweet exotic fruit and grassy notes that would make this small parcel Sauvignon Blanc ideal with summer salads, fish tacos, or own its own! Tasted April 2015. 91 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
This Niagara Sauvignon Blanc offers a deep core of minerality. Intense expression of grapefruit and lemongrass. - Community Wine Reviews

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.

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.
