Trent Mayers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Made from 100% Pinot Noir, expect pure red cherry, strawberry, cranberry, and raspberry with a whiff of fresh bread and a lemony finish. This sparkler would make a fruity and fun aperitif or pair it with a Greek style meal featuring pork souvlaki. 3.5+ stars out of 5.
Jisun Hahn CAPS Certified Somm rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Gorgeous traditional method sparkler, refreshing and bright on the palate. This wine would be a wonderful way to start a holiday party. Gentle brioche on the nose and fresh strawberries and bright lemon on the palate. Start the party with this wine while serving citrus marinated scallops or phyllo wrapped shrimp as appetizers.
Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A delicious local offering from 2019 winemaker of the year: David Johnson. Only 114 cases made. 100% Pinot, this wine is the most beautiful salmon colour. The palate is full and rich with fresh red berries with a finish that smacks of fresh fruit salad with mint and basil. Try with smoked salmon blinis with creme fraiche and caviar. @wrightwineblog




Natalie's Review

Featherstone Joy Premium Cuvée Sparkling Rosé 2017, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Produced in the traditional method as in making champagne with 100% Pinot Noir wine grapes that were hand-harvested. Look for ripe cherry, ripe red berry, flinty mineral flavours with a bright citrusy finish. Great palate cleanser in between dishes or pair with baked maple-smoked ham. Drink: 2019-2024. 450700 12.50% XD 750 mL  $23.75 Score: 91/100. December 17, 2019 Top Rated Sparkling Wine. Calm Curry Wine  Full Review

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.
