Reviews and Ratings

Aromas of vanilla, spice, chocolate and tobacco mingle with excellent notes of rich dark fruits to create a very complex and pleasing nose. Dry and medium bodied, the palate has more rich dark fruit with spice and chocolate notes. Smooth tannins and excellent balancing acidity keep everything in line. Delicious with pasta and tomato sauce, especially when the sauce is simmered and thickened to concentrate the flavours. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

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.
