Reviews and Ratings

Tania Thomas - CSW, WSET ADV rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Vinified with grapes from 30 year old vines and matured in the cellars for 10 years, this rich, medium bodied, complex wine delivers an abundance of strawberries and a touch of vanilla. Tannins are soft and velvety from extended ageing.
Enjoy with hearty casseroles and meat roasts. It makes a perfect companion to a roasted leg of lamb feast and a great company on a cold winter evening.

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.
