Reviews and Ratings

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A lovely Gamay made from a blend of four small-lot fermentations, 12% whole cluster. A touch on the young side, but very accessible already. Gorgeous and broad bouquet consisting of beet, earth, sour cherry, violet, and laced with underlying minerality. Gentle tannins, vibrant acidity, and medium body. A stunning wine, and all this for only $22.95. Outstanding value, some aging potential, and one of the most food friendly wines I have ever hard. Enjoyed this with turkey, but it will flatter nearly any dish.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A beautiful and versatile wine. Aromas of red cherry, pepper and some earthy hints. Medium bodied with bright acidity, clear, ripe berry fruit and a slight peppery spice on the finish. Enjoy with salmon, pork, grilled veggies or chicken.

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.
