Reviews and Ratings

Lesley Quinn - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Lots of ripe dark cherry aromas, with bits of chocolate, licourice and a black pepper spice, that can be attributed to the well balanced Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc that compliment this classic style Cabernet. I would recommend decanting unless you really want to sip and take your time with the wine in the glass, as some air will really bring this decadent wine alive. Enjoy it with a beef brisket in a port sauce and your winter woes will simply disappear.

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.
