Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I love a wine with hints of pepper, and this one delivered. It's a great value at under $16 and smooth flavours of plums, chocolate, pepper and oak, it won't disappoint. I had this wine with grilled steak and grilled vegetables and the flavours danced in my mouth. I will definitely buy this wine again.

Ripe berries and dark cherry with hints of chocolate and mocha. Full bodied.

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.

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.
