Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Lovely sparkling made from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and ripe pear with hints of brioche and almond. Light on the palate, with persistent, zesty bubbles and vibrant mouthwatering acidity. Tangy citrus notes and a yeasty bread note carry through on a long finish. Enjoy with any fried foods or to accompany and balance any rich seafood.
Matt Steeves rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Jackson-Triggs' 2016 Entourage Grand Reserve Brut - A very impressive high quality sparkling wine from this well known Niagara-on-the-Lake winery. At $29.95, Jackson-Triggs' Entourage Grand Reserve Brut has become a Sommelier favourite with each vintage given its consistent quality yet at a fraction of the price sparkling wines of this caliber often command. The 2016 vintage is the finest I recall tasting - every component of this wine is working in beautiful harmony, from its creamy mousse to the rich stone fruit and marzipan pasty notes, culminating with a long refreshing finish as the endless stream of micro bubbles persists. Enjoy 2020-2025. Tasted June 2020. Highly recommended! 93 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

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.
