Natalie's Score: 82/100

A full-bodied, rustic, robust red wine made from a blend of Baga or Merlot grapes. Tannic grip and tart black fruit with smoke and toasty oak. Good with big meat dishes.

Food pairings: meats particularily if they are grilled.

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.
