Reviews and Ratings

Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Priya: This is what I like in a wine...a balance of tannin, fruit and intensity. This one hits all 3 in equal parts - for me anyways! 90 pts

Alex: Aww my lady you've found a favorite! Doesn't come cheap though...loads of grapes in this glass for sure, old vine concentration, scarce yields and minerality all over the nose. Sweet berry bowl, cocoa dust, and vanilla in spades with a slight herbal touch. The alcohol plays a part as well. Great depth of fruit here but this needs time to settle down...like a rabid toddler. Great material, though quite hot, this rivals real good chateauneuf in a Spanish free-spirited way. Lay it away for 7-10. 90 pts

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.
