Reviews and Ratings

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A very aromatic nose with floral and apple notes with some cream and blood orange on the palate. Reviewed March 2018 at Taste Ontario Ottawa
Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Pleasant nose leading with sweet vanilla, caramel, and smoke, followed by subtle tropical fruits. Moderate acidity with hints of butter, not in a dominant manner. A mildly textured palate that starts with good tropical fruit before strong oak takes over and lasts through the finish. This will do nicely with creamy pastas, grilled chicken breasts, or a cheese and mushroom pizza.

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.

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.
