Natalie's Score: 88/100

Jane Hunter, owner and viticulturalist of Hunter’s Wines has won over 100 international prizes. Her Pinot Noirs are especially treasured by those who know and love this grape. Enjoy this one now, or cellar for 2-4 years. Chocolate and dark spice on the nose then it lifts on the palate to fleshy cherries and other berries. Silky texture with a medium- to full-bodied weight. Lovely!

Pinot Noir food pairings: seared tuna, lamb chops, eggplant with mushroom stuffing, veal tenderloin.

This wine offers exceptional value in Marlborough Pinot Noir. A very attractive and complex nose that offers up rich cherry, strawberry, plum and spice notes. The palate is precisely crafted with fantastic notes of red cherry, strawberry and raspberry along with a lively acidity and a very enjoyable spice note on the medium-long finish. A versatile food wine. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

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.
