Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Lovely aromas of dark raspberry and cranberry, with hints of earth, spice and smoke. Medium bodied, with medium+ acidity and just a hint of light tannins fruit on the palate is ripe, bright and flavourful, with hints of smoke and a hint of leather on the finish. Enjoy this with any mushroon or lentil dishes.

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.
