Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

I have one word for this Chardonnay. Amazing! Well, actually more than one word. McWatters Collection 2020 Chardonnay is lush, elegant and beautifully crafted. A lot of thought went into this complex but easy to read Chardonnay with a lot of finesse. The wine is dry, medium-plus-bodied, not heavy, more voluptuous with pitch-perfect balance of acidity and well-integrated oak spice. It's like sipping on buttered popcorn, ripe golden apple, lemon curd, toffee, vanilla cream, pepper and nutmeg spice, smooth and mouth-filling with a lingering flinty mineral kiss. It is a happy marriage between Napa Valley and Burgundy Chardonnay wine styles (can that really happen?) : )

For the 2020 vintage, grapes were sourced from Mirror Lake and Hayne Creek Vineyards, whole bunch pressed, 100% barrel fermented (20% in new French oak) including post fermentation lees stirring and full malolactic conversion. Crafted by winemaker Lynzee Schatz. Tasted March 2022.
