Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A delicate yet pronounced bouquet of ripe pear, delicious red apple, honeydew, dry roasted cashews and hints of dried apricot. On the palate these aromas evolve into rich flavours of apricot, honeysuckle, honeyed grapefruit, vanilla cream and a touch of toast with a smidge of white pepper soft spices at the end. Medium plus acidity, body and finish. Very well-balanced with just the perfect amount of oak. This one is also an excellent value! Try this instead of reaching for a traditional Cali Chard. Pair with buttery shrimp, soft creamy cheeses and chicken supreme.
90 points. November 19, 2017
Monique Sosa rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Delightful, aromatic and delicious showcasing prominent notes of juicy honeycrisp apple, citrus blossom and a moderate warm buttered baguette note. A well-balanced, well-integrated, dry, medium bodied Niagara-on-the-Lake chardonnay. Pair with seafood chowder. Tasted Nov 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

Great flavors of pear, apple, tropical fruit, coconut and a hint of smokiness on the palate of this full bodied Niagara-On-The-Lake Chardonnay.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A full-bodied, rich Chardonnay from Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario, with tropical guava, passionfruit, buttered toast on nose. Ripe palate gives guava, mango, coconut and buttered toast in a creamy, buttery mouthfeel. Excellent value.
