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

Great value in this refreshing, lightly oaked Niagara Chardonnay. Balanced, wet stone minerality, medium plus acidity, medium body. Blood orange zest, green apple and a hint of vanilla bean. Paired well with a grilled chicken spinach salad with sliced almonds and quinoa sprinkles. Tasted 2016 vintage in March 2019. 89 points. Great option to buy by the case at an accessible price point.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Made from hand-harvested grapes, showing apple, citrus and vanilla in a fruit-forward style. Pair with your next roast chicken, or grilled garlic shrimp.
Tasted Feb. 2019

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.
