Reviews and Ratings

Tony rated this wine as 91/100
Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This wine exudes the classic marker of a California Chardonnay with green apples, lemons and toasty oak aromas, medium mouthfeel, and creamy medium-long buttery finish. Well-executed and not overwhelming woody or nutty. Nice pairing with lobster, salmon, or buttery clams; especially at this modest price. Score 88. (S.Segard, reviewed March 26, 2017).
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Fresh floral, green apple, melon, subtle cedar and honey notes hit the high for this easy drinking, crowd pleasing summer sipper. It's light-bodied, well-balanced and refreshing. Enjoy with light cheeses and good friends. Tasted March 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Michel Robichaud rated this wine as 71/100
