Reviews and Ratings

Lesley Quinn - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This unique blend of Merlot, Syrah, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Mourvedre make this wine extremely easy to drink. The flavours of plums, blackberries and violet make it a treat to drink. The wine has very little tannins, so I would try pairing it with a mild dish like a creamy pasta with prawns and mushrooms in it. Or use it to celebrate a birthday like I did, and drink it on it's own.

My St. Patrick's Day choice is Road 13 Seventy-four K ! Road 13 winery has such a sense of humour about it with the crazy castle wine tasting building that perhaps there's a touch of the blarney somewhere there! Seriously though, I really like Road 13 wines which are made with great care and attention to the soil, the vines and the wine making process. 74K has classic damson plum flavours and I find a touch of chocolate there too. Very enjoyable and smooth to drink. With the structure and texture of this wine it can easily accommodate a meatier meal and I served it with Moussaka - the classic Greek lamb, aubergine, potato, tomato and garlic dish covered with a Mornay sauce. A great pairing with the charm of the Irish!

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.
