Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The nose on this transports you to a field full of clover on a warm summer day. Despite the sweet smelling nose there is no perceived sweetness on the palate. Clean and dry with some stone fruit on the palate. Nicely balanced. Medium finish. Try it with grilled white fish. Good value. Tasted June 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A fresh and medium-bodied Pinot Gris from Marlborough. Retains pleasant acidity while showing green apple, lemon, peach, and citrus fruits backed up by a mildly herbaceous grass note. Dry and crisp with typical and pleasing texture. A solid wine with good value that will work well with chicken, seafood, and appetizers.
Snapper Rock 2017 is a great-value Pinot Gris under $16 from Marlborough, South Island. Ripe peach, pink grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours on the palate and a lingering lime zest finish. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
