Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A decent, delightful Canadian Chardonnay from O’Leary. Vibrant aromas of pink grapefruit, yellow apples, pears, grass and lemon zest. Flavours reveal green apples, stoney minerals and lime peel. Medium plus acidity, medium minus body and finish with a hint of white pepper heat persisting. A lovely pairing with soft cheese, chicken and veggie skewers and charcuterie. 87 points - tasted April 2018

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.
