Reviews and Ratings

Hidden Bench 2021 is a 100% Gamay Noir produced from organically-grown grapes sourced from estate vineyards. Fragrant with dark cherry, raspberry, fine herb, smoky and peppery notes on the nose mirrored on the palate, the wine is balanced with fresh acidity and lingers on the finish. Tannins are medium and fine-grained and the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Lightly chill and enjoy it through 2025. - 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.
