Natalie's Score: 89/100

Saurus 2016 is a lively and fresh Pinot Noir from Patagonia. The wine is so named after the fossils of a dinosaur were found at the winery site during its construction. Produced by Familia Schroeder, look for dark cherry, red plum, sweet spice flavours and a dark chocolate finish on this juicy Pinot Noir. Good structure and acidity for food. Pair with a veal Porterhouse steak.

Pinot Noir food pairings: grilled lamb and vegetable kebabs, grilled pork chops, grilled chicken breast with cranberry and red currant coulis.

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.
