Natalie's Score: 90/100

This full-bodied red wine is a blend of about 80% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc grapes. It offers a long, luscious tunnel of mint-blackberry aromas that whistle up from the glass. Robust and ultra-concentrated: a true red wine for hedonists. Some pepper and dark spice on the finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: prime rib.

Reviews and Ratings

For the 2010 vintage bud break and bloom were late due to a cold, wet spring. Then there was a cool summer so substantial thinning was done throughout. There were 24 lots designated for this wine before blending. - Winery

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.

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.
