Natalie's Score: 90/100

Josh Reserve Buttery 2020 Chardonnay is produced by Joseph Carr and is indeed a rich, buttery wine delish with ripe apple, toasted nut, buttery butterscotch flavours vibrant on the palate. Very expressive and impressive, pour with pan-seared, lemon buttered halibut steaks. Yummy!

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, sauteed salmon filets with a squeeze of lemon juice, wild mushroom stuffed roasted quail.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

If you love a smoother, buttery, Chardonnay style, then this is a great example to try. This is luscious, with aromas of ripe pear, pineapple, hazelnut, and buttery toffee. Medium bodied on the palate with moderate, balancing acidity, and rich, buttery, fruity notes, along with a hint of warm spicy notes. Enjoy with a classic roast chicken dinner.

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.
