Natalie's Score: 91/100

A full-bodied, juicy and delicious red wine with gorgeous aromas of dark red fruit and smoke. This vintage has more restraint, more cabernet in style but is still a terrific red. Try it with rare filet mignon. Oh yes!

Reviews and Ratings

By every report and what we have seen in early tastings, 2011 is an uneven vintage, especially as far as red wines are concerned. This extremely well-made working proves that, as always, very good wines await those willing to search, and it hits the varietal mark smartly. It is precise in its focus on ripe berries and briary spice, and it is particularly well-balanced with fine energy and a long, very firm finish. It is still on the tight side and we would argue against hasty drinking, but it is an easy-odds bet to grow and improve for another three to five years. Special Designation: Good Value. Score – 90.

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.

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.
