Reviews and Ratings

Leila Kerr rated this wine as 90/100
This is a rich, ripe and concentrated wine. The nose is pure, black fruits and spices
integrated deeply. Dark chocolate, paprika, ripe blueberries and tobacco melt nicely.
The wine is generous, with voluptuous tannins that are gentle, firm and concentrated.
This wine has good structure and great length added by Carignan´s vibrancy.

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.
