Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Crushed wild berries, cedar and spices marked the inviting aroma-flavour profile of this elegant medium bodied creation. This flavourful cab franc was crafted by veteran Ontario wine creator Marynissen Estates, a small lot, family run operation situated near Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Pair this red with piping hot tourtière. It would be a delicious match.

Trent Mayers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

John Marynissen was one of the pioneers of vinifera grapes, which means this winery has some of the oldest Cabernet vines in Niagara. John has since passed and the winery is under new ownership, but his legacy is being carried on. They still produce good value entry level wines without sacrificing quality just like John did. This one is very good, medium bodied, and perfumed with raspberry and pomegranate with cedar, smoke, and herbs in the background. Winter stews would pair up well with this red. If your local Vintages is out of stock, it is still available to order from the winery.
3.5+ stars out of 5

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.
