Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Tart cherry, savoury herb, high acidity. Light body. Pair with charcuterie. Tasted June 2017. 87 points
Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A fruit forward bouquet showcasing raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate, and a small touch of earthiness. On the palate lots of red berry flavour with a hint of wet leaves, and chewiness. Light bodied with delicate tannins, medium plus acidity and lingering strawberry sweetness at the end. Pair with herbed lamb and smoked salmon apps.

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.
