Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This wine does a nice dance from start to finish. It starts with a beautifully rich note of berry fruit, and oak aromas in perfect balance. Flavours build with fruit and oak in tandem. Still has some youth to it's tannins and therefore and additional 3 years would be rewarding.
This robust Australian red wine was aged for 20 months in American oak barrels (55%) and French oak (45%), of which 30% was new. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
