Reviews and Ratings

Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Clear yellow color with aromas of peach, apricot and vanilla.
This wine is buttery, medium-bodied and very long on the palate.

Pair it with Montreal Smoked meat dish.
Serve it at 12-13 degrees.
Enjoyable now.
A medium-bodied, juicy Napa Chardonnay with fresh green apple, ripe pear and lime zest flavours creamy on the palate. Great acidity for food. Pair with lemon Dijon grilled chicken breasts. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
