Reviews and Ratings

The 2012 vintage was a strong one for Bordeaux, including this wine made from 100% Merlot grapes grown on vines planted in white limestone soils of this small estate winery. Some anise and dark spice on the finish. Enjoy now and for the next 10 years. - 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.

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.
