Reviews and Ratings

Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A very quaffable chardonnay - stone fruit and lemon zest with hints of fennel and almonds on the nose followed by subtle ripe fruit and oak and refreshing acidity on the palate. Nice long finish. Pair this one with grilled chicken, scallops, shrimp and the like.
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Ripe tropical fruit, peach and slight lemon on the nose. The palate has peach, ripe tropical notes, oak and a slight salinity. Medium- bodyied,long tangy finish.
The Niagara Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented and then aged for 10 months in French oak. Pair with stolen chicken. - Community Wine Reviews
