Reviews and Ratings

Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This wine is made of Pinotage (100%).
Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault.
It's a kind of rustic Pinot Noir.
This kind of grape grow mainly in south Africa.
I saw tasted some from New Zeland and now i had the chance to taste one from Canada.

Deep purple color.

Aromas of cherry, raspberry, spice and oak.

This wine is medium-bodied, elegant with supple tannin.

Pair it with duck burger with Portobello Mushroom.

Serve it at 15-16 degrees.

Ready to drink but can be aged 3-5 years.

Cases produced: 339

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.
