Julian Park rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This Riesling is grown in the Ritchie Vineyard, located just south of Okanagan Centre. The climate here is generally cool in grape growing terms, yet the 2015 vintage was an exceptionally warm one that meant harvesting much earlier in the fall to preserve the natural acidity in the grapes.

Floral, white peach, apricot, pineapple and lemon aromas. This is a dry riesling, with a prominent streak of fresh acidity that is the hallmark of the Riesling grape. The residual sugar softens the acidity just enough to lift the fruit and let the flavours shine.

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.
