Reviews and Ratings

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

Sledgehammer Forged Red blend hits the mark with hammer (Sledge)skill. Bright, inviting aromas of boysenberry, cherry, cola and spice lead to a lush palate where these juicy fruit flavors ring true. Sweet oak flavors and spicy notes of white pepper and clove add complexity and richness in the wine. The Forged Red blend is incredibly smooth with a full-bodied mouthfeel and wildly flavorful. This powerful yet silky wine is very easy to drink and sure to be a hit with the crowd.

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.
