Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This 100% Viognier has hints of lemon, white pepper and minerality on the nose. Lemon leads on a nicely balanced palate. Nice body and backbone. Would go well with lemon chicken or shrimp. Tasted Nov 15, 2019. thewineloverskitchen.com

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

Tasted next to the Reserve Speciale 2016 vintage, this one is also lovely, and has a little less floral on the nose, and more tropical fruit. Aromas of mango, pineapple, tangerine and a hint of orange blossom. Medium bodied, medium+ acidity, and vibrant tropical fruit on the palate with a smooth mouthfeel and finish. Enjoy with ceviche or other vibrantly spiced seafood dishes.

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.
