Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Brilliant yellow sunshine! Full bodied with a creme brule note to me. Creamy butter, caramel, vanilla, milk, and sweet spices. Peach, pear and golden apple are present too. Long, buttery vanilla finish. Cedar planked salmon with maple syrup and butter baste. Delicious!
Donna Harding rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Thought it was a bit oxidized. But on reading review realized it was butterscotch. Ok but wouldn't buy again.
Nick Onischuk - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The Inniskillin Single Vineyard Series Montague Vineyard Chardonnay 2012 is quite nice. Aromas and flavours of apple and peach dominate this wine. Buttery notes and minerality are also present. A must try Chardonnay! Tasted October 7, 2013 (89/100)
