L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a wine made for spicy Asian food as well as spicy harvest food like butternut squash soup with ginger and like spices. The wine is off dry, light to medium body and bright acidity (high). The aroma is pronounced; lemon, lime, stone fruit like apricot and peach and a hint of honey.There is a light spritzy mouthfeel. The palate continues with lemon, lime, stone fruit and that pleasing bright food friendly acidity. A great pleasure to drink on its own or with spicy Asian food. I paired it with spring rolls, summer wraps (veggies wrapped in rice paper), spicy Sichuan chicken tacos, Tibetan dumplings, and broccoli forest rice bowl with chicken and a selection of mango ginger, sesame peanut, sweet chili and ginger peanut sauces. All combos worked well with the wine!

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.
