Kim rated this wine as 70/100
Monique Sosa reviewed this wine as follows:

Lovely aromic notes of jasmine blossom, cantaloupe, white peach and steely minerality. It’s light-medium bodied, fruity and approachable to those exploring beyond their dry light bodied wine boundaries. Enjoy with mango feta quinoa salad. Tasted March 2018.
Jon Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromatic, full bodied, well balanced. Jasmine floral notes with ripening cantaloupe. On the palate, nectarine, cantaloupe driven with a saline minerality. Pairs well with mango and balsamic glazed quinoa salad or a banana leaf wrapped thick white fish on jasmine rice. Tasted 2017 vintage in March 2018. 90 points
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Apple, peach and floral aromas with peach and citrus notes on the palate. Nice acidity throughout. Would pair well with grilled shrimp. Tasted March 2018.
Simon Chen rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Very beautiful viognier made in Australia. peachy, floral with nice fruits on the palate.
Eamonn Donnelly reviewed this wine as follows:

Ripe tropical fruit and floral notes deliver in this South Australian Viognier. Pineapple, mango, juicy peach with bitter citrus zest - white grapefruit. Sweet floral notes of elderflower tie in nicely. Lots of acidity on the palate - the wine is dry. All the ripe, juicy fruit on the nose comes across underripe and tart on the palate.

A wine very much geared toward the expression of fruit and primary aromas.

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.
