Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Blue Grouse Estate Winery Pinot Noir 2022 is the palest ruby in the glass, but don't let that fool you about how it tastes. Dry, medium-bodied, it is refined, elegant and fresh with cranberry, cold Thai tea, sous bois and spicy notes with a lovely balance and freshness on the palate. Produced from 100% Pinot Noir from the estate winery on Vancouver Island, grapes were partially whole cluster fermented and aged in amphora and oak. The wine was barrel aged for 20 months. Enjoy it lightly chilled with a charcuterie platter or on its own by the sea. Tasted January 2025.

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.
