Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A fine, fragrant, toasty and creamy Chardonnay. Aromas showcase cooked yellow delicious apple, stewed pears, honey, winter baking spices, and hazelnuts. The palate is rich, full-bodied, and buttery. Enjoy with poached salmon topped with a buttery sage sauce. Tasted May 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Nautilus (2015 is a yummy, buttery and full-bodied Chardonnay from South Island, New Zealand. The Chardonnay grapes for this wine are grown on selected sites in the cool climate of Marlborough and are hand-picked, whole bunch pressed to keep the delicate flavoured wine juice very fresh. Great silky texture on this wine. - 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.

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.
