Reviews and Ratings

Tabalí began planting in the Limarí Valley in 1993. In keeping with the tradition of Chile’s pre-Columbian El Molle people, the winery’s buildings are built in a ravine. This practice offered the Molle protection from the sun, while maximizing the availability of water, vegetation and shade. In a modern context it offers the vineyards a cool-temperature haven. Tabalí’s Pinot Noir really shines in this meso-climate. Loads of blueberry, cherry, pepper and smoke on the nose followed by lovely replays on the palate. Medium bodied with a fresh, clean and long finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

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.
