Reviews and Ratings

Trevor rated this wine as 72/100 with the following review:

Don't buy it again.
Wow! This is an intense, cool-climate Syrah with loads of character. Attractive notes of fresh ground peppercorns, blackberry, raspberry, licorice and tar intrigue on the nose. It’s dry, soft textured with a sleek medium body and a beam of crisp acidity backing the sweet core of fruit. It has very good length on the finish with a nice duet of peppery spice and juicy fruit.

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.

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.
