Natalie's Score: 92/100

A smooth and sensuous, medium-plus-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of plum, currant, blueberry, cedar and dark chocolate. Look for ripe dark berry, blueberry, mint, fine herbs, toasted nut and cedar spice flavours on the palate. Tannins are firm and pleasantly grippy. Drink or hold.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: prime rib, hearty meat stews, pork tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

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

Aromas of currant and blueberry, along with hints of mint, cedar and warm spice. Medium-Full bodied, with some firm tannins that mellow with just a bit of time in the glass. Fruit flavours on the palate are rich but still maintain just enough tart acidity for balance. This wine is a great value, enjoy with your Sunday roast dinner.
Kaiken Ultra 2018 is produced by Kaiken's Aurelio Montes. This is a beautiful, sensual Cabernet Sauvignon, smooth and velvety with plum compote, liquid blackberry, blueberry, savoury spices, grilled herbs and dark chocolate flavours on the palate. Tannins are firm and pleasantly grippy. Pair with a roast venison. - 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.

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.
