Julia Kelada rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is one of those wines that is flighty and flirty. It is a fun wine with fruity nuances and a good personality. This is a crowd pleaser and a perfect wine to break out the BBQ from the snow banks and throw the first spring burger on the coals!
On the nose there are red cherries, blue berries, black currant and rose hip. Notes of cinnamon sticks and chocolate.
On the palate there are cherries, black currants and raspberry jam with hints of pommegranite. Spice notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla lead into leathery tones and chocolate. The tannins are smooth and there are notes of spice cake before a well balanced finish.

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.
