Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is unbelievable Semillon for under 15 bucks, featuring preserved Meyer lemon, verbena, unripe white peach, lime, and honeysuckle. 91 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
White Ribbon (2016) is a very fresh Semillon from Australia's Hunter Valley. A well-known Hunter Valley seamstress. Min Eagan. had a bunch of ribbons that she attached to vine posts in hoping their movement in the wind would help to keep the birds away. Although, it was never really determined if this really worked to keep the birds away from the ripening grapes, the white ribbons were quite the brilliant sight against the Australian landscape. Pair this wine with fresh steamed lobster or smoked pan-fried scallops. - 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.

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.
