Love this 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato from the Sicily wine region. Intense on the nose with ripe dark fruit, cherry and dried tobacco leaf aromas, generous on the palate with ripe blackberry, blueberry, dark cherry, cedar spice and vanilla flavours. Nicely done!

Food pairings: game roasts, roast partridge, bison burgers.

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.
