Natalie's Score: 90/100

Vintages Wine Panel: This ready-to-drink Chianti is quite tasty, offering fresh black cherry and plum aromas and flavours with a touch of oak and earthiness. Dry, with fairly crisp acidity. My note: A marvelous Chianti: the best of its kind. Mouth-watering, full-bodied and packed with cherries and dried herbs. Let's eat.

Chianti food pairings: pasta in tomato sauce.

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.
