Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Aromas include lots of ripe currant, blackberry, eucalyptus, tobacco, and warm oaky spice. Full bodied and bright acidity on the palate and some medium tannins. Flavours on the palate include ripe berries, with some leather and spice. Enjoy with a grilled steak.
Wineboy rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Beautiful aromatics with classic Napa cassis elements and a touch of spice and herbs for added complexity. More structured (than their Sonoma CS), this bright Cali CS has a touch of dryness (acids) and great length. Age me 3 or 4 years or drink now with a rarer steak or braised beef.

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.
