Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This deep ruby coloured merlot offered up elegant concentrated flavours and attractive but shy aromas. The bouquet mingled floral, dark berries and cherries notes framed by suggestions of smokey cedar and flint. Jammy berry and cherry flavours commanded centre stage on the full bodied, textured palate. Overall, a delightful merlot from British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley appellation. Can be consumed today. Can be cellared, too. Choose your adventure. Enjoy.

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.
