Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A gorgeous Chardonnay Musqué from Cave Spring Vineyards. Pale straw in colour with a green hue. Clear density. A vibrant, fruity and floral bouquet with lemon, green apple, tart pear, slight tropical notes, tart pineapple, beeswax, loads of floral aromas - honeysuckle and sweet pea. Palate consists of lemon, green apple and clay. There's also notes of light oak that really come to life. Medium body, acidity and finish. Crisp, dry and oily with only 3g/L of residual sugar and 13.5% ABV. Pair with a creamy pasta dish such as linguine alfredo and garlic buttered shrimp. - tasted July 2017

Heather Wall rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Perfect aperitif wine with a little cleansing spritz! Enjoy this off-dry white wine well chilled. This pretty white blend is a touch floral with lingering off-dry sweetness and stone fruit. An easy crowd pleaser and always consistent. Pair it with spicy Thai or curry dishes.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Vinified in stainless steel to optimize fruit flavours. Fragrant tropical fruit and orange rind on nose, with a palate that gives delightful guava, apple and citrus rind. Crisp, dry mouthfeel with lingering citrus finish.

Natalie's Review

Cave Spring Chardonnay Musqué 2014, Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Very pretty and mouth-watering Niagara Chardonnay Musqué, which is a clone of Chardonnay that is not exactly the same as many Chardonnay clones in that it offers more floral and apricot notes. Perfect for Asian dishes. Drink: 2016-2018. 246579 13% D 750 mL $16.95 Score: 89/100. September 3, 2016 Best Value White Wine. Sensational Shellfish Wine Full Review
