Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is the second time we've had this wine, and we're considering buying more. Beautiful aromas of hung meat, eucalypt, cassia, and blueberries. Black and blue fruits wrap around finely etched tannins and acids. It tastes like...another glass. I'm 92 points on this wine. Highly Recommended. (ottawawinejournal.com)
Sean O'Regan - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Nov 8, 2013: Ordered through Vintages on-line bin end. Deep ruby with intense nose of blackberry, cassis, eucalyptus and wood smoke. No surprise on the palate with a repeat of flavors from the nose along with a touch of wood spice. Medium full body, fine soft tannins and juicy acidity lead to a medium long finish with blackberry and menthol notes. Drink now and over the next 4-5 years with braised beef, lamb or pasta with a hearty meat sauce. At $20, there is more on my way, so hurry while still available.

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.
