Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of ripe black cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, with some green herbaceous notes and a warm, spicy hint. Full bodied on the palate, with medium acidity and tannins, ripe berry flavours and hints of pepper and stony minerality on the finish. Enjoy with marinated beef or hearty 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.
