Craig Haynes rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Well, this is delicious. This Chenin Blanc leaves on my senses an aroma, flavour, feel impression that’s attractive, mild mannered, and magnetic. This is certainly not a one (glass) and done. I want to experience this again. It feels tantalizingly textured, creamy, and bone dry. Elegant expressions of ripe yet juicy stone fruit, waxiness, floral perfume, sweet lychee. and oxidizing apple are everywhere. It’s as if they sink into my tongue and release over time. So nice.

If appellation awareness is your thing, this creation is classified as Niagara-on-the-Lake, a region in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada.

Big Head Wines describes itself as having over 20 years of winemaking experience, and specializing in small-batch, artisanal creations, utilizing unique techniques such as wild fermentation, the appassimento method, and various aging vessels to enhance the depth and flavour of their wines.

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.
