Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Big fan of this chardonnay from a well known and consistent Producer - so many flavors are packed into one parcel - the nose is lively with hints of apple, orange and vanilla. The palate - wow - nectarine, peaches, apple - green/red/yellow, vanilla, smoke, oak - a very well crafted cool climate chardonnay - simply wonderful!
Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Chardonnay has herbal and mineral aromas with a subtle touch of wood. Fruit wise, there is peach, mango, orange marmalade, with a hint of honey.

Flavour wise, think barbecued pineapple so that the fruit is caramelized. It is a full bodied white that is creamy and has fresh acidity. Overall, it is nicely made and very enjoyable.

Monique Sosa rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A remarkably crafted, juicy, creamy, full-bodied Niagara Chardonnay. This Chardonnay boasts fine vanilla, flinty minerality, cedar, wildflower honey, citrus, apple and apricot notes. A fine pair with smoked prosciutto (spek) and gruyere grilled cheese. Tasted April 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Wineboy rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

I wish more lovers of white Burgundy were open to trying Canadian Chardonnay. The oaking on this one reminds me so much of a $30 Burgundy - for $20. Quite rich on the fruit (tree fruits) which is not exactly Burgundian but neither is this wine. Lovely deft hand on the oak. My highest endorsement - "I'm buying some."




Natalie's Review

Flat Rock Chardonnay 2015, Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: I love this Chardonnay, and I'm not a Chardonnay lover. So luscious and fall into it loveliness. Rich, full-bodied with lovely aromas of butterscotch, vanilla smoke and fleshy peach. Pair with roasted chicken. Drink: 2016-2020. 286278 13.50% XD 750 mL  $18.95 Score: 91/100.

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.
