Reviews and Ratings

This is mostly Shiraz grapes with a splash of Viognier to add lift on the mid-palate and some floral notes just as they do in France's Rhone Valley with their blends. The grapes are all estate-grown, co-fermented, and then aged for 18 months in French oak, of which 33% was new. Polished tannins and a long finish. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
