Julia Kelada rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

I had seen this label around for quite some time, yet I was never drawn to it. Finally upon seeking to my wondrous sommelier, his eyes lit up and he said " oooohhhh Joooooliaaaa!" we'll that was enough for me, I grabbed a bottle!
I don't know what I was thinking...all those years depriving myself of such taste bud tingling joy!
Yep! It was delicious!
The colour of this wine is a sumptuous deep rich ruby red. On the nose there are incredibly deep fruits with fresh acidity plums and cherries. On the palate there is a mineral almost herby tone, a slight hint of wild blackberries. Cherries and plums take center stage then give way to a delightfully well balanced pepper introduction. This wine is packed with fruit yet is wondrously dry with perfectly long tannins. I shall be buying more!

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.

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.
