Reviews and Ratings

Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

From South Western France, a light-bodied blend of Merlot and Tannat grapes that add roundness and structure, in that order. Red fruit aromas and a peppery finish. It would pair well with pizza, chicken wings or BBQ. A good value wine.
Fantastic value under $13 on this Merlot and Malbec red wine blend from Côtes De Gascogne, Southwest France. Plaimont Colombelle 2018 is full-bodied with fresh dark cherry, red currant, dark berries and cracked pepper spice flavours on the palate. Don't over analyze it, just decant one hour prior to pouring with lamb stew. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
