Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Faint notes of apple and honey and a touch of smoke. Medium-bodied, off-dry with flavours of golden delicious apple, pear, lemon and white grapefruit. Great for your next chicken dish.

Aromas of white peach, pear, and some herbaceous, grassy notes. Dry, smooth, with lots of pear on the palate, and medium acidity. Enjoy with seafood pasta in a light sauce.

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.

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.
