Vintages Wine Panel: A Gold Medal winner at the 2009 Concours des Grands Vins de France in Mâcon. This blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre displays an attractive nose of wild berries, black fruit, pepper and a hint of tar. This dry, soft-textured, medium-bodied wine features juicy black fruit and hints of leather and pepper. Very pleasant match indeed for comfort foods. My note: A corpulent and generous red with dollops of black fruit, toasted cherries, earth and dark spices. Flavour ripples across your mouth and ends in a warm, comforting finish.

Grenache Syrah Mourvèdre food pairings: lamb stew, shepherd’s pie, beef casserole.

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.
