Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Made from 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon, this is a dry, medium-bodied White with crisp acidity and a beautiful texture. The first wiff offers grassy notes followed by peach, petrol, citrus, mineral notes and hints of beeswax. On the palate, the flavours are of peach, clementine, subtle chives, and a touch of honey without the sweetness.

Tasted at the Taste Ontario event in Ottawa March 2020
Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Broad and intriguing nose with creamy, buttery, oak spice, banana, tropical fruit notes, and just a bit of Semillon kernel. Pleasant balance of acidity and creaminess on the palate with a lovely mouthfeel. Lemon and citrus notes really brighten the palate and finish. This Bordeaux-inspired white blend, 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon with nine months of French oak, will pair perfectly with shellfish, sushi, or veal dishes.

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.
