Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely and balanced, this is a bright Chardonnay showing lots of tropical fruit and apple mingled with oak that smooths and adds texture but does not overwhelm. Dry, bright acid, and a bit of a creamy finish. Beautiful with chicken, seafood, or white fish.

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

Light ans fresh Chardonnay from BC's Okanagan Valley. Pale lemon colour in the glass with juicy aromas of tropical fruit, cut apple, pear, oak. The palate is clean with medium+ acidity and tropical fruit with butter and citrus. A very nice butterscotch finish. Winemaker suggests that this wine will continue to develop over the next 5 years. Pair with roasted chicken or turkey, lobster with butter, seafood.
Tasted: February 2015

Mild tropical pineapple& guava nose with more tropical flavours on the dry palate of banana and pineapple with oak. Oaky pineapple finish.
