Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This Chianti starts out with an intense initial flinty (matchstick) note that opens up to a fruit bomb! This might sound bizarre to a novice but it's one point! Prominent notes include cherry, raspberry, savory Italian herbs and a mintly finish. Acidity is high, tannins are pronounced, mouthfeel is scrumptious, the finish is long and tangy, and overall, it's great stuff! Enjoy this medium-full-bodied red with roasted pork loin.

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Gorgeous aromas and flavours of black cherry, cola, porcini mushroom, tobacco, and fresh herbs. Lively and fresh but very serious in structure. There's a touch of dark chocolate here. 92 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
Somewhat mute on the nose. A searing attack of acidity on the palate without much fruit. - Community Wine Reviews

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.

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.
