Natalie's Score: 87/100

Kindzmarauli takes its name from a district whose vineyards were once kept solely for Georgia's royal court. This is 100% Saperavi, made semi-sweet by stopping fermentation early to hold onto the grape's natural sugar. Black fig and dried violet open the nose, with a whisper of warm spice close behind. Pomegranate carries through the palate, and the tannins keep the sweetness from tipping into dessert territory. A wine with this much history behind its name earns a slow glass after dinner. Warm curry or dark chocolate with a bit of ginger makes a fine match.

Food pairings: sweet and warm curry dishes, spicy dark chocolate, chocolate covered ginger.

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.

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.
