Jon Steeves rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

An Osoyoos gem. Fantastic elegance, deeply concentrated fruit, well structured acidity, tannins, and integrating alcohol. Let breath for two hours, tasted Dec 2016. Enjoyable now, could sit for 2-8 more years - easily enjoyable any day in this window. Ripe plum, blueberry, blackberry, savoury dried herb, black sage, black pepper. Pairs well with Montreal Smoked meat or braised beef. Easily drinkable on its own. Rated 93/100. Fantastic.
Monique Sosa rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Totally boss! The Hatch Dynasty has it all! Full bodied, young grippy tannins, high balanced acidity, delectable fruit concentration and flavours that go on forever. Enticing notes include black plums, chewy dried dates, cassis, leather, cedar and graphite minerality. This is an age worthy beauty but if drinking now, decant for 3-4 hours prior to serving. Tasted Dec 2016 - @sommsosa / bespoketastings.ca




Natalie's Review

The Hatch Dynasty Red 2013, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia BC VQA, Canada: Flippin' gorgeous! This towering BC red wine comes in a very squat bottle... but let it out in your glass and it grows like a magical beanstalk of flavour to the sky. Aromas of black fruit and wonderment. Pair with rare steak and company. Decant 2 hours. Drink: 2016-2028. 664987 14.50% D 750 mL  $39.99 Score: 93/100. July 7, 2017 Top Rated Red Wine.  Full Review

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.
