Reviews and Ratings

Samson Ling reviewed this wine as follows:

Able to thrive in cool climates such as Ontario, Foch (aka Maréchal Foch) can produce fully ripe, well-structured reds. This hybrid grape (along with Baco Noir) helped prove Ontario's mettle as a region capable of serious red wines. This version from Malivoire may be the grape's ultimate expression. It's concentrated and delivers plenty of solid dark fruit character with a touch of rustic charm. 'Albert's Honour' is a tribute to Martin Malivoire's great uncle, who was awarded the French Legion of Honour medal for heroism in World War I.

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.
