Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Nutty, smooth and satisfying. Bright acidity mixed with warm toasty notes of burnt sugar, vanilla, walnuts, toffee and caramel. Perfect after dinner sipper.
Pair with fruit and nut tray, old and salty cheeses, pumpkin pie. Perfect for leftover Halloween treats! Try it with Caramilk, Mars, Crispy Crunch. Who says Halloween is for kids! Drink over the next 5 years.
Tasted: November 8,2014
Martha Kelly AIWS - CS rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This fully sweet wine has flavours of caramel, cashews, dried cherries, candied lemon, and marmalade with refreshing acidity that balances.
Pair with blue cheese, honey, and nuts.
Drink now or cellar until 2017.
Date tasted: November 2014.

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.

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.
