Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous Lunar New Year. The Year of the Snake promises wisdom, refinement and transformation, and the Limited-Edition Haywire Lunar Red (2022) embodies these qualities. On the palate, it is dry, juicy, medium-bodied and fresh with ripe red berry, bright cherry, light garden herbs, subtle spicy notes all balanced with bright acidity and framed with cocoa-textured, velvety tannins. Produced from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes sourced from the winery’s Summerland vineyards in British Columbia, I think it's their best one yet since the winery started the Lunar New Year wine series the in 2014. Absolutely a perfect pairing with a winter vegetable, mushroom and chestnut galette! Tasted January 2025.

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.
