Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I'm a total sucker for Chardonnay from the Beamsville Bench that is delivering some impressive quality. And at $19.95 this one is a total bargain too. Classic cool climate style with lemon and pineapple tones and a finish of butter biscuits. Beautifully balanced clean acidity to ensure no top heaviness. 60% of the wine went into French oak for 9 months. If you haven't tried Ontario chard, this is a good place to start. Chicken tikka wraps with minted yoghurt.

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

A gorgeous pale straw cool climate Niagara Chardonnay with ripe stone fruit, and wet stone minerality. Pairs well with roasted chicken dinner or dry rubbed deep fried chicken wings. Tasted 2017 vintage in June 2019. 89 points. Great value.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Beautifully balanced. Aromas of golden apple, pear, and hazelnut. Full bodied and smooth, with lots of apple on the palate with a touch of honey and vanilla. Enjoy with classic roasted chicken or creamy cheeses.
