There are 5 user submitted reviews for this wine.

David Skinner rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Light gold. Aromas of apple, pear and melon with a nice butterscotch nuance. A creamy texture and good acidity support flavours of apple and pear. A medium finish

A wine that can easily be consumed on its own but would do quite well with poultry or shellfish.
Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Medium intensity pear, apple, vanilla and butterscotch aroma. The lively acidity supports a well-structured creamy Chardonnay. Lovely on its own or to pair with shellfish.
Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Pale yellow gold. Moderately intense nose featuring butterscotch, ripe peach, citrus and honeyed melon. Vibrant acidity lifts the medium bodied, moderately creamy, layered palate. The malo, lees character is fairly subtle here, as is the well integrated oak. The finish is tangy, lifted and moderately persistent.
Carola Price rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

Vanilla, coconut, marmalade and peachy flavours. Very clean and interesting. The flavour is a wonderful blend of big bodied and restrained. It is not overly oaked and has a long finish. It is well balanced and likely made for long term enjoyment.
Pair with grilled pork and peaches, vegetable salads and tacos with tons of guacamole.
Drink now to 6 years.
Donna Hargrove rated this wine as 82/100 with the following review:

Warm pear and apple on the nose, which continues on the tongue. Medium acidity on finish. Pair with tasted poultry or herbed pasta dishes.

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.
