Matt Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This Central and North Coast California Cabernet is complemented by a touch of Malbec and Merlot (and a splash of other red varietals), in the blend which contributes to its flavour complexity and concentration, making this an impressive value priced wine for under $20. Deep ruby in colour, the nose shows ripe blackberry, black plum, dark cherry, cedar, graphite, cacao, vanilla, and a hint of fresh eucalyptus. Medium-full bodied with a creamy texture that evolves as the soft yet dusty tannins show up and persist on the finish. Terrific on its own, it's also a great wine to enjoy with charcoal grilled steaks, braised beef, or smoked baby back ribs. It's certainly in a great place now so enjoy! Drink 2018-2022. Tasted March 2018. 89+ points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

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.
