Reviews and Ratings

Wines should take you on a sensory journey – and this one certainly does. Evocatively tropical notes of grilled pineapple and cantaloupe with a slice of peach pie and the faintest wisp of incense will set your mind firmly on the path to paradise. Rich and robust, with a bright acidity that keeps everything lively and focused throughout. Just so much fun. Perfect for lobster tail or barbecued pork.

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.
