Natalie's Score: 90/100

A full-bodied, rich and toasty, oaky 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petite Sirah, 3% Merlot and 6% Other varieties from Napa Valley, California. Deep purple in the glass, soft and silky with layers of dark berry, cherry, leather, smoky vanilla and coffee flavours on the palate. Enjoy now and for the next five years. Pair with a well-marbled ribeye steak from the grill.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: juicy, rare steak, barbecued ribs in sauce, hamburger, hard cheese.

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.
