Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Potent peach jam and peach blossom aromatics with suggestions of lemon and lees. Good texture with a round mouthfeel and diverse, dry palate. Look for citrus, stone fruit, and subtle spice flavours, with the ginger and spice notes picking up in the finish. Great complexity and length. Fruit was sourced from 30 different microclimates, with only small amounts of premium fruit chosen. 15% oaked, with 5% new and 10% neutral. Natural pairing with roasted chicken or turkey, pleasant with seared fish, and not out of place with creamy pasta dishes.

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.
