Natalie's Score: 93/100

A gorgeously rich, full-bodied red loaded with aromas of black raspberries, dried herbs and dark spices. Lovely fine tannins thread their way through this wine, giving it excellent structure and textural richness. Needs at least 10 years aging. Decant 1-2 hours. Smooth and elegant. Fabulous!

Reviews and Ratings

GOLD - Canadian Wine Awards 2009

Lifted aromas of black raspberries, wild herbs and dark chocolate define the intense character of this exciting new blend. The palate is rich and savoury with flavours reminiscent of dried herbs, toasty oak and dark red fruits layered over silky, fine-grained tannins, finishing with great length and depth of flavour.

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.
