Reviews and Ratings

Rob rated this wine as 88/100
David Skinner rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Medium ruby color; pink rim. Cassis, vanilla and blackberry aromas. Soft tannins and nicely balanced acidity. Dark fruit palate with black cherry, plum and blackberry. A medium finish full of fruit

Paired this with penne arrabiata.
Wine Description

Alvars comprise a small percentage of the Earth’s ecosystems by land extent; although, some 120 exist in the Great Lakes Region, they comprise only 0.2% of the land area there. They provide a natural habitat for many rare birds, butterflies, plants and trees. The hop tree is one of them. A rare tree found in such Alvars along the shores of Lake Erie.

Cabernet Sauvignon is often referred to as the “King of Red Wine Grapes”. This wine is full-bodied and characterized by plum, cherry, blackberry, vanilla and tobacco flavours.

Food Recommendations

Try with red meats, heartier tomato-based pastas, lamb, strong-flavoured cheese and dark chocolate.

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.

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.
