Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A winery perhaps best known because of its legendary owner, Dave Matthews from the Dave Matthews Band, but becoming increasingly well known for the delicious value priced wines they produce and their focus on sustainable, eco-friendly, wine production. Recently in Ontario, Dreaming Tree teamed up with Trees Canada to plant new groves in areas where the Emerald Ash Borer has devastated urban forests…and Dreaming Tree Winery is donating proceeds of every bottle of Dreaming Tree Wines to Trees Canada. So basically, drinking this wine is helping the environment! Win-win-wine!

Baked apples, orchard fruit, vanilla, and toasty oak on the nose and palate. Medium-full bodied, this is a great wine to enjoy with creamy autumn soups, game birds, Baja fish tacos, buttered popcorn, or simply enjoy chilled on a patio. Tasted August 2015. 88 points.

Pear, peach and honeydew aromas. Apple, melon and vanilla flavors.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Warm citrus and pear notes along with buttered toast and oak on the nose. Similar flavours on the palate and nice acid to cut the butteryness. Vanilla on the finish.

Typical Chardonnay nose with honeydew and vanilla aromas. Not too flamboyant.

Pleasant and simple wine.

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

The fruit jumps out of the glass and reminds you of roasted pear or baked apple pie. Big fruit and brown spices that are backed by a distinct Central Coast citrus note. The entry coats your mouth with these great flavors. Easy to enjoy, this wine will bring the coastal wine adventure right to your home

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

Les fruits sautent hors du verre et évoquent les poires rôties et la tarte aux pommes cuite. Les gros fruits et épices brunes sont appuyés par une note d’agrumes centrale distincte. L’entrée enduit votre bouche avec ces excellentes saveurs. Fac
