Jon Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Floral and fragrant, crisp and elegant. Crowd pleasing appeal for an accessibly priced white blend. Medium body, mouthwatering acidity. High altitude viticulture has created refreshing high acidity fruit with bright aromatics. Pairs well with seafood dishes, lightly grilled chicken dishes with seasonal veggies, and drinks easily on its own. Tasted 2016 vintage in May 2018. 89 points. #Greatvalue
Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted March 13th, 2018. Colour pale straw. Legs medium plus. Aromas and flavours of, tropical fruit, guava, Mayer lemon, hint of geranium. Taste dry, fruity, light bodied, mouthwatering. Finishes long and mouthwatering. I like this wine because it is easy to drink, refreshing, would pair with Mexican Food.

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.
