Reviews and Ratings

Jason Solanki rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Fresh, clean aromas of apple, pear and buttered popcorn notes. On the palate, slight oakiness with more apple/butter leading to spicy mid-palate that continues to the finish. Tasted June 2012.
A well-priced Chardonnay from a top Ontario producer, this serves up juicy apple, vanilla, cream and mineral aromas. The minerality plays an important part in the mouth-feel as well, adding extra depth and cut to the sunny fruit painted on a medium body. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, Nov. 2012
Bright, focused Chardonnay with yellow apple, pear, roasted almond, buttered popcorn and measured toastiness. Dry, medium bodied, fruit-driven and lip smacking with just the right gentle oak accents. Fine, balanced finish. A terrific cool climate oaked Chard. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
