Reviews and Ratings

Bruce rated this wine as 55/100 with the following review:

as Gary Veynerchuk would say: This wine has been attacked by the oak monster. I score this 86 points.
Mer Soleil Reserve 2019 Pinot Noir is produced from grapes sourced from the Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey County, California. Fragrant with pink florals, violets, dark berry and strawberry aromas on the nose, bright on the palate with well-integrated toasty oak spice. Produced by the Wagner Family of Wines. Lightly chill and pour with roast duck. Drink or hold. - 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.
