Martin Geleynse rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This well-made wine, blended with small percentages of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot, is an astounding value. Currant and cranberry notes and an underbelly of tannins play together in a smooth texture of rich concentration. Score - 92. (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, Aug. 1, 2017)
Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted March 7th, 2018. Colour ruby red. Legs thick. Aromas and flavours of red fruit, cherry, red currant, cranberry and hint of red bell pepper. Taste dry, lots of fruit, medium body, soft integrated tannin, mouthwatering, balanced alcohol. I like this wine, special occasion wine because of the price. Would pair well with tomato based dishes, and stews. Overall worth the try.




Natalie's Review

Dry Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, United States: Lovely balance with classic cassis and blackberry aromas in this California Cabernet. Plush, mouth-watering and celebratory. Great dinner party wine as it's subtle not in your face. While this wine is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, there's also a dash of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec in the blend. Great balance and finish. Drink: 2018-2024. 642207 14.50% XD 750 mL  $37.95 Score: 92/100. March 3, 2018 Top Rated Red Wine. Glorious Game Wine  Full Review

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.
