Reviews and Ratings

Neil Phillips rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is a reliable Chianti year-in, year-out.

The 2011 claims to have "a bit" of Merlot - evident in the slightly rounder mouthfeel and dark plums.

Dark red colour with some rust, but lighter in tone.

Nose of big cherries, white mushrooms, savoury herbs and slight mocha.

On the palate it's full and warming, without being a fruit explosion. Medium-plus acid provides bite, while the tannins are medium-minus. Plums, cloves, slight black liquorice.

Tasted January 2015.

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.
