Reviews and Ratings

Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

The 2012 Chloe Red No. 249, sourced mainly from California’s North Coast, has succulent aromas of blackberry, black cherry, toast, oak and subtle green pepper on the nose and blackberry, black cherry and prune on the palate. It is a medium bodied, dry, fruity wine; with forward acidity, refined tannins (decant for 30-60 min) and a chalky finish of medium length. Drink this wine with rich foods; drink for 1-2 years, store upright (plastic cork enclosure). Rated 85 pts. Tasted in Nov/14.

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.
