Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of green apple, pear and pineapple, along with some caramel and oak notes. Full bodied with more fresh fruit on the palate with a more creamy and caramel hinted finish. Enjoy with roasted chicken or turkey.
Simi 2017 is a great value full-bodied Chardonnay from Sonoma County, California. Lots of ripe peach, pear and crunchy green apple flavours on the palate and all wrapped up in toasty oak. Simi was founded in 1876, and the cellars that were built in 1890 are still in use today. Try it with roast chicken. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
