Lori Kilmartin WSET3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This Chardonnay is anything but "Rusty". A plush Chardonnay from the Twenty Mile Bench in Niagara, the "Rusty Shed" comes from their best vineyards and is aged in the best barrels from the winery. The result is a complex wine with multiple layers. Aromas of vanilla, butter and peach. White stone fruit and some citrus on the palate. Medium to full bodied. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel and a long oak finish. Tasted July 4, 2018.

Gwen Barton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Perfect for lovers of oaked Chardonnay. Golden yellow, med-full bodied with pleasant acidity. Pronounced notes of baked apple, vanilla and toasted nuts. Smooth mouth feel with long finish. Pair with lobster mac’ncheese. Tasted July 2018

Natalie's Review

Flat Rock The Rusty Shed Chardonnay 2016, Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Full-bodied with so much going for it. On the nose this gold Chardonnay is baked apple dumpling, pear compote, fresh pastry and lemon. Love this Niagara Chardonnay: voluptuous but balanced. Chardonnay that is the liquid version of worn-in jeans. Comfy, familiar, just right. Almost full-bodied, this tongue-loving, caressing white wine will be perfect tonight when you kick back with some buttered popcorn and an old movie. Drink: 2018-2022. 1552 13% XD 750 mL $26.95 Score: 91/100. July 7, 2018 Top Rated White Wine. Celebrated Chicken and Cream Sauce Wine Full Review
