Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Intriguing nose of ripe pear, pineapple, vanilla and touch of smoke. Repeats on palate. Well-balanced, long ripe pear finish.

Sean O'Regan - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Pale gold, honeydew, green pear, dusty minerality. Medium body flavours of apple, green pear, some butterscotch, a little spicy and a bit of heat from alcohol.
Tasted April 2015

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Smoke and buttered toast on the nose giving way to apple, pear and some butterscotch on the palate, with a smoky body that lingers throughtout the taste.

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

Aromas include fresh buttered bread, apple, and some toasty notes. A bit of a oaky flavour comes through with lemon and apple on the palate. This wine would be great with roasted chicken, or maybe bacon wrapped scallops.

Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 81/100 with the following review:

Deep yellow color with aromas of vanilla, butter, smoke and grilled hazelnut.

The wine is nerve, full-bodied and long.

pair it with grilled chicken breast.or grilled salmon.

Serve it at 10-12 degrees.

Ready to drink but can be aged 3-4 years.
