Lynn van der Linde rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Wow! THIS is what Tempranillo is, baby! Spicy, smokey, strawberry jam, with a hint of bacon - what more could you ask for? And when it hits your lips - soooo smooth and balanced. Pairs nicely with aged cheddar, or...forget the food and pour yourself another glass.
Heather Wall rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Made from 100% Tempranillo and aged 180 days in oak barriques. The result is cherry, rhubarb, raspberry, sweet baking spices, toasted oak, violets. Mild tannins and good acidity. Winemaker suggests pairing with spiced and cured meats, roasted pork and beef.
Tasted: January 2015

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.
