Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely, smooth and fragrant. This wine is harvested from over 50-year old vines, and aged 20 months in barrel. The resulting wine shows aromas of plum, smoky berry notes, and dark spice and oak. Full bodied and smooth on the palate with soft, light tannins, ripe and tart berry notes, and a smoky, dark finish. Enjoy with BBQ ribs or pork tenderloin.

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.
