Reviews and Ratings

Love this Napa Cabernet, dry, rich and full-bodied with blackberry, black currant and toasty, smoky oak spice flavours matched with good acidity for food. Tannins are pleasantly grippy.

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.
