Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Pear and floral aromas with pear, lime, caramel and spice on the palate. Paired Dec 2016 with grilled haddock.
Matt Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A fun and fruity medium bodied Chardonnay that was aged in 50% American and 50% French oak. Orchard fruit, caramel, and sweet spice persist on the sweet and spicy finish. A great every day Chardonnay that'd be great enjoyed chilled on a patio or with Baja fish tacos. Enjoy 2016-2018. Tasted June 2016. 89 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca




Natalie's Review

14 Hands Chardonnay 2014, Columbia Valley, Washington, United States: Gorgeous vanilla spice florals on the nose of this Washington Chardonnay. Lots of freshness on the palate along with tropical fruit. This varietal tier (wines made from a single variety or grape) is the premium line for 14 Hands as compared to the blends like Hot to Trot. The horses on the label are a tribute to the wild horses that once roamed the Hose Heaven Hills wine region. They were approximately 14 hands tall: small but sturdy and strong, known for their unbridled strength and freedom. Drink: 2014-2018. 468546  13% XD 750 mL  $18.95 Score: 90/100.

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.
