Natalie's Score: 91/100

A supple, full-bodied red wine that's packed with aromas and flavours of sweet cherry, red plum and cedar smoke. This is the half bottle size. Cherry-berry festival for your mouth. Lively and silky. Great structure and mouth-watering juiciness. Some dried herbs and fresh earth on the finish. Try it with planked salmon. Bring it -- to my house please.

Pinot Noir food pairings: duck, seafood.

This really shows the velvety plush texture for which the Santa Maria Valley is so well known. Ripe cherry fruit dominates the aromas and flavours, but there is plenty going on here with layered raspberry and earth notes making their presence known as well. Enjoy this classically styled, single-vineyard Pinot. Source: Vintages Wine Ratings and Reviews, Nov. 2013

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.
