Reviews and Ratings

Red-purple; the wine spent an astonishingly long seven-week fermentation and maceration on skins, yet shows no over-extraction characters; that said, it is a wine of marked complexity with an array of spices plus pepper to the patterned array of plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits; the finish is long and well-balanced. Drink now till 2029. Score – 95. Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, July 17, 2012

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.
