Winery: Sue-Ann Staff

Greg Hughes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Sue-Ann staff is not only a fantastic stopoff in Niagara (and her Riesling remains on eof the top in the area).
Medium ruby, with purple accents.
Aromatics are highly floral, with plum and blackberry. Ripeness on Cabs in Niagara is key. Damson, blackberry, red pepper jelly, boisenberry, and tobacco.
Flavours are good. More plum, blackberry, and vanilla.
If you visit her Niagara Peninsula winery, you'll be greeted by her firendly Bernese, Brix.
He often adorns each of her bottles somewhere too
Save it for 3 years, or drink now. Pair it with roast veggies - the classic for Ontario Cab Franc blends.

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.
