Tania Thomas rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is a delightful blend of increasingly fashionable grape variety, Grenache Noir and Syrah with a touch of Carignan Noir for added structure and colour. Medium bodied, expressive and fruit driven, delivers an abundance of ripe cherries and plums, accented with leather, tobacco and black pepper notes on the lengthy finish. Try this luscious red with some classic southern Rhône delights like a meat roast stuffed with tapenade, or if you can get your hands on, a soft and runny St. Marcellin cheese of the region.

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.
