Reviews and Ratings

Travis Oke rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

If Plato were alive today he would agree that this is the Ideal Form for Beaujolais Nouveau. Light, spritzy, fruity, some sour cherry, bright, and inexpensive. I need nothing more than this from a Nouveau. Bravo Georges.
Joe Hache Prince Edward Count rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

For those on a budget and and being in the midst of "turkey" season this wine deserves a close look. At this price don't look for a lot of complexity and depth but it is fruity and simple.

This wine pairs great with roast turkey and cranberry sauce as the fresh berry flavors and acidity of the wine picks up the flavors and tartness of the berries (and we know that the berries tend to dominate the turkey)
Mark Britton rated this wine as 83/100 with the following review:

The nose on this wine is initially quite nice, but the palate is lacking considerably. Perhaps some value in this wine at $8.95, but probably still not a recommended purchase.

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.
