Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Affordable and yummy. This wine is packed with flavour, and ready to enjoy. A buy by the case for those who love affordable, dependable crowd pleasing Syrah. Sicilian IGT. Pairs well with traditional Italian tomato based dishes, pastas, or with antipasti. Medium bodied. Red berry, savoury, hint of peppercorn. Tasted 2016 in Oct 2017. 89 points. Great value.
Carola Price rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Inky and fruity. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry and pencil with a little chocolate thrown in at the end. The mouth is an explosion of black fruit, coffee, bittersweet chocolate and some leather. Tannic yet short in the mouth this is a great candidate for short term cellaring. Pair with lasagna, pizza and blue cheese stuffed burgers. Drink 1 to 3 years

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.
