Natalie's Score: 89/100

From the Thompson Okanagan, wine region in British Columbia, Monte Creek Hands Up Red 2020 is a smoky, bright and fruity, full-bodied red produced from Frontenac Noir, Marquette, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. The finished wine spent nine months in oak barrels. Look for ripe dark cherry, red berry, nutty, caramel and savoury herb flavours on this toothsome red made for the BBQ. Monte Creek won the 2021 Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association's Sustainable Project of the Year award.

Food pairings: mushroom dishes, duck, tomato based pastas.

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.
