Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

An easy drinking crowd pleaser. This medium(-)-bodied Pinot Noir goes down smooth. Pale ruby in the glass with aromas and flavours of cherry, raspberry, violet, perfume, smoke, pepper with an earthy backbone. Medium+ acidity with silky tannins. Easy to drink on it's own or pair with assorted cheeses with cured meats, roasted poultry, spaghetti Bolognese, rabbit stew. Drink over the next 3 years.
Tasted: January 2015
Great value for Pinot Noir, which tends to be a lot pricier because it's so expensive to grow and make. Finishes with baking spices, especially nutmeg. - 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.

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.
