Natalie's Score: 90/100

Drinking at peak now. This robust blend of 40% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon 11% Petit Verdot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 11% Malbec grapes. Aromas of dark fruit, smoke and rust. The fruit is grown in Osoyoos and Naramata. The wine was aged 16 months in oak barrels. The winery name is a nod to the fact that “the pull” of wine overcame winemaker Rob’s nagging doubt about getting into the winemaking business. Pair with lamb.

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.
