Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

I finally opened the Sandhill Single Vineyard Three (2017) from Sandhill Estate Vineyard that has been nicely resting in cellar for over five years, and I can tell you that it is still plenty crunchy and spicy! Produced from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Barbera grapes, the wine is dry, full-bodied and rich with spiced dark plum, black cherry, blackberry, dried tobacco leaf, baking spices and smoky with a long, dark fruit and spicy finish. Tannins are rich and yes, spicy! Do decant for an hour or two prior to pouring it with a well-marbled ribeye from the grill or hard cheeses. Drink through 2027. Tasted March 2024.

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.
