Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A very food friendly wine with main aromas of lemon, tart yellow apple, and white flowers, as well as great minerality and a touch of apricot. The taste is tart lemon and yellow apple and very crisp. This wine was great on its own, but paired with haddock and fiddle-heads was absolutely perfect, elevating both.
Heather Wall rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Floral, apple, peach, pear, apricot, citrus - all a recipe for Alsace Riesling. This is a beautiful nose indeed. The palate repeats with additional minerlity and apple leaning to green apple. Bright acidity and a lingering candied lemon finish. Very nice. Definitely great value at $15. Serve well chilled. I enjoyed this on it's own. Perfect turkey wine.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

My favourite kind of Riesling with a delicate nose of peach, lemon and subtle minerality. The beautiful melodious palate shows bright ripe peach, apricot, lemon, honey and slight mineral elements. Smooth and well-balanced with crisp acidity with a lingering citrus-peach finish. A beautiful wine at a very reasonable price-$14.95. I'm sure this is what they serve in Heaven.

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.
