Natalie's Score: 87/100

The 2022 Grasa De Cotnari is a delightful semi-sweet dessert wine crafted from grapes gently influenced by noble rot. This rare Romanian variety, grown on roughly 450 hectares and steeped in ancient tradition dating back to the Neolithic period, truly stands as a national treasure. On the nose and palate, it unfolds layers of vivid apricot compote, refined praline, and hints of candied citrus peel, achieving a vibrant, rounded profile. An exceptional value at just $15, it pairs effortlessly with toasted nuts, a medley of dried fruits, or even a robust blue-veined cheese.

Grasa de Cotnari food pairings: blue-vein cheeses, roasted nuts, apricot galette.

Blissful Blue Cheese Wine

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.
