Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This year's blend consists of 37% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Franc, and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of plum and blackberry, along with hints of mocha, vanilla, leather, dried herbs and smoke. Full bodied with soft, subtle tannins on the palate, and medium+ acidity. Fruit notes are rounded and ripe, well balanced well with more mocha and smoky hints along with a touch of a dried herbal note. Beautiful! Enjoy this now or hold on to it for a few year, and crack it open with a special meal.

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.
