Reviews and Ratings

This blend of 30% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Carignan and 20% Cabernet creates a rich and full nose with layered blackberry, anise, blueberry, leather, candied cranberry and red plum. The palate dynamically echoes the depth, complexity and promise of the nose. Medium bodied, and fruit-filled with a toasty mid-palate and a vanilla bean character to the medium-long finish.

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.
