Jon Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Bright pale straw, declared 12.9% ABV. An Okanagan unoaked Chard with ripe fruit, tasting ripe bruised apple, crisp Asian pear, a hint of clover honey. Tasted 2014 vintage in June 2017. 89 points
Monique Sosa rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

It's hard to believe that this Chard is unoaked. Aromas show intense baked apple, pouched pear and wild flower honey notes. A lovely medium bodied summer sipper. Enjoyed with salmon cakes. Tasted June 2017 by @sommsosa / bespoketastings.ca




Natalie's Review

Dirty Laundry Vineyard Not So Knotty Chardonnay 2014, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia V.Q.A., Canada: This fresh, crisp BC white wine made from Chardonnay grapes and is unoaked, thus the reference to "Not so knotty" (wood). Reminds me more of fresh linens on a spring day than Dirty Laundry with aromas of lime and lemon zest. Pair with crossing off the last item on your chores list and fresh seafood.

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.
