Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Medium sweet, floral, fruity and bright. Lacks structure, with low acidity yet approachable for those looking for a wine slightly sweeter than off dry. Asian pear, passion fruit, floral. Medium body. Tasted 2016 vintage in July 2017.
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Floral nose, medium-sweet white with an interesting zingy acidity - slightly effervescent mouthfeel. Lemon curd, ripe yellow apple, and honey notes prevail. Enjoy with spicy Vindaloo curry. Tasted July 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

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.
