Pam Hatton rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Light golden yellow with upfront apple notes on the nose. A quick swirl in the glass reveals subdued oak vanilla and caramel. A medium to full bodied wine with a viscous feel in the mouth has balanced acidity and a smooth finish. On the palate, notes of apple, pear and a hint of floral evolve into a bitter almond finish. The oak is balanced and will show more tertiary flavors with a bit of age. Lovely Canadian wine at a great price.
Lynn van der Linde rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A quintessential expression of Niagara Chardonnay - and Ontario does it best.
Heady aromas of stone fruit, red apples and white flowers transform to a zippy lime finish. A perfect balance of toasted oak and zesty fruit.
Wonderful with poached salmon and dill sauce.
Tasted April 2018.
Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Full bodied, lots of flavor - an impressively smooth Chardonnay - quite a vintage. An award winning wine with a beautiful bouquet and palate of freshly harvested pear, orchard apple and ripe melon. Divine with pan seared scallops.....yum!

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.
