Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon has goodness going on.

It feels extra dry and medium bodied with velvety tannins.

Its flavour profile is lovely with warm delicious dark fruit – cherries and blackberries are the headliners – teamed up with earthy, leathery and spice characters.

I'd serve this Pondview Estates red from Ontario's Four Mile Creek appellation with grilled sirloin any day.
Lori Kilmartin WSET3 - WSET3 Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Another great wine in the Bella Terra lineup!
Intense aromas of ripe blackberry and plum with underlying layers of vanilla and spice. Juicy with more black fruit, cocoa and white pepper on the palate.
I drank this delightful wine with a bbq'd hamburger that had a light coating of Texas Hill Country bbq sauce that paired perfectly.
Check out their website and order a case today for this upcoming grilling season!

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.
