Natalie's Score: 91/100

A terrific full-bodied red wine with a smooth, supple texture. Enticing aromas of mocha and dark chocolate from oak aging, along with fleshy blackberry, mouth-watering juiciness. Supple and juicy with dark fruit and lovely layers violets and meaty notes. Perfect wine for watching CSI but it doesn’t take a forensic scientist to figure out how good it is. Pair with rare steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Terry Jeans - Certified S rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Tasty dark fruit with smoke, dark chocolate, leather and vanilla; all mixed together with a long finish. Beautiful wine in that sweet $20 range. I don't know about you, but I am having a big steak with this one.

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.
