Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Peller Estates, a well renown winery in the Niagara region, once again delivers a well made everyday wine. The Winemaker Red 2019, made under the appelation of Peller Family Reserve, offers aromas of ripe dark cherry, fruitcake, tobacco leaf, molasse, cola, vanilla and oak. Medium body, with a lovely balance, great for food pairing or sipping on its own. The finish is well strucutured and provides delicious fruity notes of black plum, blackberry, black pepper, leather, spice, vanilla and oak. Enjoy!
Jay Denney rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

An interesting blend of Cab Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Dornfelder. Aromas and flavours of candied fruit and jelly. Very little wood or tannin here, this is fruit forward. I see it pairing well with a gourmet bacon mushroom burger.

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.
