Natalie's Score: 90/100

Juicy, meaty, savoury and mouth-watering. An awesome full-bodied Australian red wine with fleshy dark red and black fruit aromas. Not too heavy, just right. Meaty dishes please. Great price. Finishes with great complexity and concentration of flavour. Pair with spring lamb.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: hearty meat dishes, hard cheese, braised pork shanks with white beans, sizzling New York strip steaks, veal Asian chicken salad.

Reviews and Ratings

Winemaker Elena Brooks wears steel cap work boots to work every day but carries a pair of high heels in the trunk for emergencies. You go girl! Returning from a knees up mid vintage Elena managed to kick off one high heel and slip on one boot just as the cellar crew yelled out "Run Sister Run!". Thus the name of the winery was born. This vintage of the Sister's Run won the Blue-Gold, which is a double gold, at the prestigious Sydney International Wine Competition in 2013. The 2011 vintage in the Barossa was challenging as it was both rainy and cool. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
