Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

A light bodied Australian Pinot Grigio declared at 11.5%. Pale straw with slight green hue. Mouthwatering acidity, oily mouthfeel, great balance with juicy tart orchard fruit. Pairs well with fried calamari, fish tacos, Cajun dusted wings or chicken shawarma, and is drinking well on its own. Tasted Jan 2017. Rated 86/100. Crowd pleaser. Enjoy.
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Pours like water in your glass but there's no mistaking this wine for water! Floral notes and citrus fruit flavours dominate the aromas and flavours on this wine. The palate is off-dry with a long sweet juicy mandarine note. Enjoy with zesty green salads. Tasted Jan 2017 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

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.
