Reviews and Ratings

Simon Chen rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

California Wine Fair @ Ottawa - probably the best value cabernet in the entire tasting. This is a classic sonoma Cabernet with a hint of eucalyptus, green pepper, mint that gives the freshness to the wine. Pair with pork or more game meat
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of currant, plum, and and smoky oak with a hint of eucalyptus. Full bodied and smooth on the palate, with ripe red fruit, and a slight bit of spice on the palate. Pair with grilled pork.

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.
