Reviews and Ratings

Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This medium bodied Ontario red wine displays ripe aromas and flavors of plum, strawberry, blackberry, and smoke. The flavors linger with well integrated, silky tannins.
Tawse Sketches of Niagara (2012) is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot. This is a beautiful, rich red blend with a pronounced blackberry and red fruit nose wrapped up in woodsmoke. Well done -- 2012 was a great year for full-bodied reds from the Niagara wine region. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
