Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Lovely blend of several different wines made both from fresh grapes and appassimento style to come together with great result. The blend includes: 20% 2021 Malbec (appassimento), 8% Cabernet Franc and Merlot (appassimento and fresh), 15% 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon (Appassimento), 31% Cabernet Franc (fresh), 13% 2024 Merlot (fresh), 8% 2024 Malbec (Appassimento) and 5% 2024 Dornfelder (appassimento). Aromas of black cherry, licorice, tobacco, sweet smoke, dried herbs, and hints of vanilla. Medium-full bodied with drying tannins, and vibrant fruit flavours on the palate, balanced with more smoke and licorice hints. Enjoy with slow braised meats or mushroom dishes.

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.
