Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Yummy nose of brioche and tropical ripe banana and pineapple. Extra-dry finely balanced palate repeats the aromas with a lingering elegant finish. Full-bodied but light in the mouth.
Tasted April 2016
Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

One sexy chardonnay from Kim Crawford. Toasty and tropical fruit notes, luxurious mouth feel, and a lasting tropical finish. This Chardonnay is done in the spirit of Kim Crawford's original creations using smaller batches from the best of the best grapes of this vintage.
Tasted 3 April 2016.
Courtney Flood rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Tastes like a hot sunny day. Toasted coconut, pineapple, guava. Smokey finish. Lovely with seared tuna and grilled pineapple salsa
