Natalie's Score: 88/100

A rich and smoky Malbec and Merlot full-bodied red wine blend from the Cahors, Roussillon wine region. Powerful ripe dark fruit, savoury herb and smoky oak flavours on the palate. Good now, better in a year or two. Pair with a game roast.

Food pairings: beef stew, sausage cassoulet, meat lover's pizza.

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.
