Reviews and Ratings

Mary Anne van Gaal rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This cool climate wine was made entirely with grapes from the Sonoma Valley and aged in steel vats. Beautiful floral and peachy notes are followed by flavours of citrus and apricot. Full bodied and delicious. It would be great with sushi. Tasted at the California Wine Fair, April 19, 2018.
Donna Hargrove rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Peach and apricot flavours blend with a creamy texture in this Sonoma Valley Viognier. Fermented at cooler temps and aged in steel vats, this wine deliciously balances acidity and minerality. Perfect sunny afternoon sipping wine!

Tasted: April 19, 2018 California Wine Fair Ottawa
John Masur WSET 3, Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Wonderfully aromatic and fermented at cooler temperatures. Has a creamy texture in the mouth despite seeing no oak and undergoing no malo. Delicious peach flavors are prominent with a mouthwatering finish.

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.
