Matt Steeves rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Sweet nose of apricot, melon, and a touch of petrol. Slightly sweet palate with a medium-long crisp orchard fruit finish. Would pair well with a sweet and tangy bbq'd chicken. For $15 this is a fantastic wine to serve at your bbq dinners any night of the week.

Sean O'Regan rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

June 22, 2014: Pale yellow with the nose showing petrol/plastic typical of older riesling along with apple, citrus and honeyed notes. Medium light body with good acidity and a bit of residual sugar and flavours of citrus, honeydew melon and repeat of petrol/mineral on a medium finish.

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Aromas and flavours of slightly cooked stone and tropical fruits, such as canned peaches or pineapple. An off-dry, silky flavour. Would pair well with thai chicken curry.

Terry Jeans rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

I love Rieslings in the summer, they are food friendly and go well with warm evenings with friends. This is a good value Ontario version of this varietal with apple/tree-fruit, mineral and citrus flavours. On a patio by itself or with some bbq chicken kabobs, you could not go wrong.

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Offers honey and peach aromas and flavors with a touch of citrus on the palate.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A nice example of a Riesling, with lots of petrol and minerality. A bit of apricot and charcoal become more apparent in the taste and the finish is brightly acidic with a touch of lemon. A nice wine with BBQ chicken, salad, or on its own.

Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Limey / pear / petrol minerality / racy acidity / light-bodied

SUMMER IN A GLASS.

Chris Coughlin rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This Riesling has subtle petrol notes that make Ontario rieslings great, along with stone-fruit aromas and flavours. Good value here.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A light yellow with pink-toned wine that offers lush ripe peach aromas. The palate has ripe peach and apricot flavours and slight minerality. Medium-bodied with ripe peach finish.
Would be great with grilled chicken shish kebabs.
