Reviews and Ratings

Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2010 Pillitteri Estates Winemakers Selection Exclamation Reserve Cabernet Franc, aged in French Oak barrels for 24 months, has appealing aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, red currant and wood. It is a light to medium bodied, extra-dry, fruity wine; with crisp acidity, tight/drying tannins and a medium finish. This is a food friendly wine; it will benefit from short term cellaring – drink 2015/16 to 2020. My impression: NICE to BEAUTIFUL, 89 pts.

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.
