Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is a really unusual sparkling wine made from Merlot made in the traditional method and aged on lees for one year. An interesting and very typical Merlot nose of blueberry, blackberry and plum, but with a hint of a cherry cola note as well as some minerality. Medium body, mousse is fizzy and persistent, and acidity is bright, much more so than a typical still wine Merlot. Definitely interesting and worth trying. This is a great option for those looking for a red wine in the summer, as it delivers the red wine flavours ina refreshing wine.

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.
