Natalie's Score: 93/100

Complex and satisfying Californian Chardonnay, with full-bodied richness and weight with a velvet texture. Toasty oak yet it's integrated beautifully with the green apple and peach aromas. A chardonnay lover's chardonnay. Complex with a long finish. Pair with roast chicken.

Chardonnay food pairings: lobster in butter sauce, beef bourguignon, breads, cheese, poultry.

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.
