Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Stunning, this is a rich and flavourful Chardonnay that was whole cluster, barrel-fermented, with 20% new oak, and 100% malolactic fermentation. Aromas of golden apple, pear, hazelnut, and a touch of white florals. Medium bodied, smooth and creamy, with soft texture, and medium acidity. Fruit is rounded and ripe with rich tones, and a touch of nuttiness and vanilla on the finish. Enjoy with scallops or lobster.
Craig Haynes rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Chardonnay comes from grapes harvested in a single vineyard in Ontario’s Prince Edward County wine appellation.

The grapes have experienced 100% malolactic fermentation in a blend of new and seasoned oak barrels. This is key because of the result has created, a wine with an appealing assortment of buttery, lanolin, nuttiness, ripe stone fruit, and lime marmalade notes.

Medium bodied, textured, tongue teasing, with a lingering flavourful finish. This is a lovely creation from Closson Chase.

Closson Chase is located in Hillier, Ontario and their focus is Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and most recently Pinot Gris.

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.

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.
