Big, black and brooding with dark depths of concentrated black fruit, tar, oak and black spice. Needs cellar time then decant for 2-3 hours and pair with brontosaurus burgers.

Food pairings: grilled lamb sirloin with cocoa rub, barbecued duck sausages, grilled pork tenderloin with cauliflower purée and cherry compote, veal chops.

Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This dark and inky wine is still not showing it's age. Five years on and there's mounds of dark fruit, smoked meat, leather, mocha java, and herbs. The tannins are youthful and acidity a medium+. Enjoy with medium-rare steak or Prime Rib after decanting 2 hours plus. I would love to taste this wine in another 3-5 years. Excellent gift wine.
Tasted: February 2015
The 2010 vintage of the Bolgheri Superiore Sondraia is an Italian red wine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. - 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.
