Reviews and Ratings

This slightly opaque and dark ruby colored red blend opens with fragrant ripe blackberry bouquet with a hint of black currant with black licorice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and juicy. The flavor profile is black plum notes of mild black currant and blackberry. The finish is dry and its mild sweet oak tannins are very friendly. Score: 90 Source: Ken Hoggins, kenswineguide.com

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.
