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

This grape varietal was developed by a professor at University of California - Davis. It's aromatic like a moscato with predominant aromas of lychee and white floral. Although it is off-dry (at the California Wine Fair I was told it had 17 residual sugar/litre but the LCBO notes put it at 21) it is has enough acidity to make it a pleasant wine for sipping on a summer afternoon or to accompany a spicy curry.
Aimee Fowler rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Ironstone's Symphony is quite floral in nature with rose oil and peony and a strong sense of yellow delicious apple. It is has a distinctive perfume quality and the fruit is one dimensional. Semi-sweet on the palate with good but flat acidity. A good overall mouth feel, would be great with crab cakes and medium fish options. Could also balance out some spicier condiments.

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.
