Alex & Priya rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Alex: Lots of dried herbs and stony mineralogy on display, with a characteristic bowl of berry fruit. Deep and complex on the palate, with a mineral wall, and excellent acidity to back it. Spicy, herbal tinges on the finish, little noticeable wood and firm sinewy tannin. Very good entry-priced Chateauneuf. 91pts

Priya: Now Chateauneuf is a wine I can get behind. It's got enough fruit to draw me in, but is drier than the type of reds I would normally be drawn to. It's a bit spicy on the palate as Alex has noted, but I like that. It warms my throat and makes me think of how lovely this would be with friends on a cold and wintry evening. 89pts

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.
