Natalie's Score: 94/100

I have a confession to make: I didn't just taste this wine, I tortured it. After an initial knock-your-socks off impression, I thought: hmm, too easy. Let's leave it overnight opened and uncorked. (Do not try this at home.) Tasted it the next day, and there it was again: beautiful silk cherry aromas and flavours, mouth-filling texture, subtlety and ever-changing expressions. Did that satisfy me? No, of course not. One more night open though with cork in. Day three: I admit defeat. What a wine.

Reviews and Ratings

Light garnet colour with red and black fruit. Vanilla and toast complement cassis and black cherry flavours, and spicy, velvety tannins fill out the 2012 Pinot Noir. Its balanced structure will allow the wine to age for 6 to 7 years.

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.
