Julia Kelada rated this wine as 96/100 with the following review:

Wow! Wow! Wow! This may be a clue as to how amazing this wine is. Buy by the case, I think that since the begining of time this is my by far the best under $20 wine I have ever tasted. Coming in at $18.95 , there are no compromises. This is the real deal, full of flavour, full of character, non negotiable delicious!
I only let it breath for about 20 minutes and the taste was still spot on!
In the glass this wine clings to the side of the glass and slips gaciously down.
This wine has the the nose of the small wild cherry known as Mazzard cherries. It's wild earthy notes of sour fruits release quite an invigorating nose. Blackberries and apple blossom wrap up the aromas of this wine.
On the palate there is a delicious ripe cherry taste with full on black berry taste. The fruits are full on flavour but get reigned in by the licorice that then leads into a decadent dark chocolate with a mild pepper spice. The wine ends with indulgent tannins. Yum!

Bottoms up!

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.
