Natalie's Score: 89/100

From the Pays d'Oc wine region, the grapes for this 100% Syrah were grown in sandstone, limestone, clay-limestone and granitic schist soils from four different vineyards. Juicy with ripe dark cherry, cracked pepper and toasty oak spice flavours with a lingering, velvety finish on the palate. Pair with rack of lamb.

Syrah food pairings: roast leg of lamb, pork loin, rare ribeye steak.

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.
