Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

If you like your chardonnay rich and creamy then this one is for you! Medium to full bodied with lots of tropical fruit-melon, coconut,banana. Vanilla and buttered toast cap it off! The finish is velvety smooth and long. Lobster with butter, scallops, turkey.

Lailey Vineyard Wines Chardonnay 2011 is a creamy full bodied chardonnay. Flavours and aromas of apple, peach, and vanilla. A must try wine! Tasted October 7, 2013 (90/100)

Tasted April 2013
Brimming with white peach, apple, buttermilk, coconut oil and flinty smoke notes, this wine has good ripeness and presence and culminates in a crisp, refreshing finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, July 2013

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.
