Casas del Bosque Reserva 2016 is amazing value Carmenère under $20 from the Rapel Valley in Chile. The wine was aged in oak barrel for 10 month and is smoky, toasty with dark cherries and sweet plum flavours on the palate. Drink now and for the next couple of years. Pair with grilled pork chops.- Community Wine Reviews

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.
