The many fans of L.A. Cetto’s popular Petite Sirah won’t want to miss this opportunity to taste the Private Reserve. Deep ruby in the glass, still with youthful purple highlights. Sun packed aromas of blackberry, blueberry jelly, smoky cedar and mocha. Dry, full bodied and richly textured with big, ripe, fleshy tannins and a lengthy finish. This wine could age 2-3 years, or enjoy it tonight. Source: Vintages Wine Catalogue.

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.
