Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Amazing value under $20 on this Bordeaux-style red blend of 39% Merlot, 24% Malbec, 18% Cabernet Franc, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Deep dark ruby red in the glass, the wine is dry, full-bodied with balanced acidity and is made for burgers from the grill. It even tastes like burgers from the grill.

Deep ruby red in the glass with pleasantly grippy tannins showing earthy blue violets, dark berry, baked cherry, chocolate, meaty, spicy flavours rich on the palate. We enjoyed it with grilled venison burgers stuffed with blue cheese – an absolute perfect pairing. Produced by winemaker, Stefan Arnason. Tasted June 2022.

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.
