Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Crushed black raspberry, violets, espresso, boysenberry, and smoke on the nose complement the chocolate, fine grained oak, and toasted nuts on the palate. Lovely example of cooler climate Shiraz. 90 points. (ottawawinejournal.com)
Deep purple; a voluminous bouquet of black fruits, spice and licorice; a medium- to full-bodied and rich palate, flooded with black fruit and spice flavours; great tannin and oak support. Drink [until] 2021. Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au

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.
