Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

I was pleasantly surprised by this wine when I served it with grass fed beef not too long ago. There is lively, zingy fruit flavours of fresh black currants, black cherry and mulberry. There is a touch of green here but it doesn't put the wine off in any way, I actually find it welcoming, especially with red meat. 88 Points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Cherry, plum, spices, and a very slight touch of Cab Franc green-ness. The taste is bright cherry and raspberry with zippy acidity. A great wine for spring lamb.

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.
