From Napa Valley, California, Caymus Special Edition 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a big, powerful and mouth-filling Cab lush and layered with blackberry, chocolate, savoury and licorice flavours. Tannins are smooth and velvety. Drink or hold. I say "drink". - Community Wine Reviews

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.

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.
