Alex & Priya rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Priya: Smells a bit spicy, like white pepper! And I've never smelled that but this is lighter than black pepper so there! A nice lemony zest to this as well, and it's quite fruity and fuller bodied for a white! 84 pts

Alex: Hah, I'd agree with you my lady! Subtle pepper coming from the admittedly slightly underripe Grenache...however this is still quite fleshy, as expected from a white rhone. Full of peach and chamomile on the as well, rich and dense. There are some green notes on the palate, but it's still full of peach with a nice mid-weight stature and great acidity. Moderate length here, this is for your king shrimp sautéed with lemon and garlic. A subtler white rhone in style, but this will make it a better wine at the table. 86 pts

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.
