Reviews and Ratings

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

One acre consisting of four rows of Pinot Noir, split equally between clones 115 and 777, produce the fruit that goes into this very limited wine. Beautifully floral, boasting rose petal, lavender, and peony, with underlying soil and briar. Tart red berries like cranberry and raspberry. A year in premium French oak contributes some gentle baking spice. Light ruby red colour with soft tannins, medium body, and bright acidity. Supremely food friendly as good Pinot Noir so often is. Think cedar plank salmon, roasted duck, pork tenderloin, or grilled lamb.

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.
