Natalie's Score: 89/100

From the Colchagua Valley. Ravanal 2017 is a full-bodied Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, deep violet in glass with rich blackberry, earth violets and pepper spice aromas on the nose. Elegant with ripe dark plums, blackberries, raspberries with plenty of cedar spice and toasty oak flavours on the palate from ageing one year in French and American oak barrels. Excellent value under $20. Pour with a grilled beef bavette.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: grilled venison steak, slow-braised beef long ribs, grilled game sausages.

    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.
