Reviews and Ratings

Bright ruby. Knockout aromas of violet, blackcurrant and minerals reminded me a little of colorino. Pure and fresh on entry, this lighter-bodied Chianti is packed with red cherry, blackcurrant and mineral flavours. The finishing bright acidity and delicate peppery tannins leave an impression of austerity, but there’s plenty of pretty fruit underneath. Score: 89 Source: Ian D’Agata, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

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.
