Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

What a delight this Cab Franc is! Spicy dark plums abound on the nose and palate. On a palate that is silky smooth with very fine ripe tannins. I don't usually find Cab Franc elegant - but this one is changing that (despite 14.5% declared ABV). So flavourful and nicely balanced it is a joy to sip on its own but a nicely marinated steak would also be a match made in heaven. And the good news - all that delightful fruit and spice persists through a very long finish! Tasted 5 May 2022 thewineloverskitchen.com

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.
