Reviews and Ratings

Dan Carkner rated this wine as 100/100 with the following review:

Deep cherry colour with salmon rim. Dried/ stewed dark berries with prune, violet, and mellow cedar notes on the nose. With time, aromas of worn leather and chocolate covered blueberry emerge. On the palate, tart dried cherry in the forefront with chocolate, florals, and jammy berries rounding out the profile. Medium plus acidity, medium body, mouthwatering, silky mouthfeel. Finely textured medium low tannins provide enough structure and wonderful balance. Tart cherry and dried fruit persist through a medium long finish. Pair with pungent, aged, firm cheeses, or rich desserts featuring dried fruit (dried cherry butter tarts anyone?)
This full-bodied dessert wine is a blend of 60% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella and 5% Molinara grapes and is designated a DOC wine. - Winery

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.
