One of four single vineyard wines from Belle Glos. This one the most "gutsy" of the group. Ready to drink, with layers of spiced strawberry fruit and hints of sweet cigar smoke. Watch this wine evolve over the next 7-8 years. A stunning bottle that makes a classy hostess gift. Pair with beef carpaccio. Tasted Oct 2014.
Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

Very dark and dense in color with aromas of ripe dark berries, sweet spices and a roasted meatiness. The structure first enters with a supple and chewy character. Flavors are abundant of barbeque spices, again ripe dark berries and moist tilled soil.

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.
