Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

One beautiful, medium-plus-bodied and lush Lolitta of a Cabernet Franc! Adega on 45th Winery Cab Franc 2022 is spicy, saucy and yummy with dark cherry, crushed raspberries, fine dried herbs, sweet, dried tobacco leaf and very smooth tannins. Lovely balance and length on this sophisticated CF. So good now but could easily hold to 2028. Paired with a grilled petit tendre filet rubbed in garlic and black truffle oil and presented on a spinach and green onion galette accompanied with crispy russet potato fries roasted in duck fat. Absolutely delish and a perfect pairing to this weighty wine. Tasted October 2025.

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.
