From the Niagara Peninsula wine region, Creekside Laura's 2018 is a juicy, full-bodied Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec red wine blend elegant with layers of black cherry, dried sweet tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, wild herbs, cedar brush spice and smoky flavours generous on the palate.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Smooth and balanced, this red blend is a bit different, each year striving to make the best possible blend. Aromas of cherry and raspberry along with hints of cedar and dried herbs. Full bodied, dry on the palate with medium+ acidity. Fruit flavours on the palate are rounded and smooth with soft tannins, and a touch of an herbal hint on the finish. Enjoy with any grilled meats, mushroom dishes, or ribs.
Creekside Laura's 2018 is a juicy, full-bodied Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec red wine blend, fragrant with dark berry, blueberry, olive, savoury herb and pepper spice flavours fresh and concentrated on the palate. Drink or hold. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
