Reviews and Ratings

Julia Kelada rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

This wine is a serious wow! It is a delicious change that stands out from the crowd.

In the glass it clings gently to the side of the glass and shows a rich purple colour.

On the nose there are black cherries, black currants and plums with floral notes of violets and then a woody note of cedar.

On the palate this is an explosion of taste bud tantalizing yumminess!
baked currants, cooked fruits, brandies cherries and red currants. Floral notes of orange blossom step forward before spices of nutmeg and Cinamon introduce themselves. There is a great oaky note with great lengthy well rounded tannins. 

Bottoms up!

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.
