Reviews and Ratings

Julia Kelada rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Truly...yum! I should stop my review right now, but this is such an incredible wine, and a must visit to the winery if you can make it.
On the nose there are black berries, blue berries and black currant jam. It has a wonderful rich fruity nose that welcomes you in displaying notes of terroir.
On the palate there are fruit notes of black cherry, blue berries and black berries with a delicious black currant jam nuance. Notes of minerality come through just before a delicious note of cinnamon toasted bun. Leather and mocha mingle for a while before releasing to smooth tannins and a velvety finish.
I would match this with rack of lamb or decadent burgers on the grill.

Bottoms up!

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.
