Reviews and Ratings

Julia Abbott rated this wine as 95/100
Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Another great Kim Crawford wine from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. The 2011 unoaked Chardonnay had aromas of ripe tropical fruits, melon with a hint of butterscotch. I do like a Chardonnay aged in oak normally, but I really enjoyed this unoaked wine.
Tara rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Nice and not too sweet. Great with grilled scallops with bacon
This pure, no-nonsense Chard is remarkably versatile and food-friendly. The apple, pear and mineral aromas are expertly replayed on the palate. Give it a try with anything.

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.
