Natalie's Score: 94/100

From the Sallier de La Tour family, La Monaca 2018 Syrah is produced from sustainably grown grapes from the Sicily wine region. Dry, medium-bodied, fruity and fresh with blackberry compote, crushed raspberry, clove and cracked pepper spice flavours vibrant on the palate. Tannins are fine-grained and firm. Drink or hold. The nearby town of Monreale is famous for its magnificent medieval cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also here that the Sallier de La Tour estate winery has been located for over a century.

Syrah food pairings: roast leg of lamb, venison stew, bison burgers.

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.
