Emilie Ryan rated this wine as 78/100 with the following review:

If you like fragrant wines, you should enjoy this rosé…
Bottle presentation: Colourful. However, the font and the border/edging give it a dated appearance, one akin to a grandmother’s handkerchief
Appearance: Strawberry red
Nose: A surprisingly fragrant, if not overpowering, floral and raspberry nose, with a hint of green herbs
Taste: Green vegetables, herbs and flowers
Finish: Strong alcohol and a hint of minerals.
Overall impression: Although an interesting combination, the various elements seem overpowering, if not unbalanced.
Value: 4 out of 5
Monique Sosa rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

The Pondview Cab Franc rosé pours with a rose petal pink appearance and pronounced citrus blossom, cherry, strawberry and bubblegum aromas. This berry burst characteristic is repeated in a glass. The palate shows moderate acidity, a light-bodied texture, and a long candied fruit finish. This is a perfect brunch/ patio wine. Enjoy with leafy green lightly dressed salads. Tasted July 2016. @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

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.
