Terry Jeans reviewed this wine as follows:

Dark fruit, spice and almost smoked meat aromas, that is surprisingly smooth and medium bodied, with medium tannins. There is a lingering finish of dark fruit and dark chocolate. For this price this is good value and would pair well with some BBQ red meats or pork.
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A deep garnet wine with aromas of plum, sweet, dark cherry, dark chocolate, and the slightest hint of eucalyptus. The taste is blackberry and dark chocolate with medium+ tannins on the grippy side, and juicy acidity. This one definitely hits above its price range for me. Great paired with burgers, or had cheeses.

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.
