Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

From the Niagara Peninsula, Big Head Winery loves to think outside the box when producing their wine. Big Head 2016 Red is no exception as Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon are blended into this Italian inspired creation, using the ripasso and apassimento style. Beautiful aromas of dark plum, raspberry, cut grass, a hint of asparagus, pepper and oak fill your glass. Long finish with a full body, this well structured wine reveals red cherry with strawberry finish, crushed peppercorn, vanilla, a trace of green pepper and oak. This wine is made to pair well with steak or to sip on its own. Enjoy!

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.
