Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Rich and plush - perfect to accompany all of your summer Barbecues! Lush, ripe black fruit (blueberry, blackberry), warm spice, and some oak and smoky aromas. Full bodied, lots of smoke and fruit mingle on the palate with medium acidity and some grippy tannin that would definitely benefit from some decanting. Medium to long finish. This wine was fermented in stainless steel and then aged in french oak barriques for 20 months. 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.
