Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Winner of the Decanter World Wine Awards 2018 Platinum - Best in Show, the Thirty Bench Cabernet Franc Small Lot 2015 shows amazing characteristics of an admirable wine with vibrant aromas of strawberry, black cherry, black pepper, dried herbs, sweet tobacco and coffee. From Beamsville, Niagara, this delicious wine offers a full body with a long and lingering finish. The tannins are silky and well integrated, and the journey trough the palate is defined by gorgeous tastes of ripe strawberry, cherry, black pepper, herbs, tobacco and oak. So delicious. Enjoy!

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.
