Reviews and Ratings

Sona Shea rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Hi Everybody,
I'm excited/nervous to participate in Natalie's wine reviews.
I love wine but I'm not a connoisseur. So until I get the hang of this review process I'll keep it short and sweet, I like it or I do not. That's it, nothing foo foo.

For my first review I tried Sledgehammer Cabernet Sauvignon from California. We had it with chocolate raspberry truffle cake for my husband's birthday. The combination of the dark chocolate with the rich red wine was so delicious I almost wept with joy. The next time we had Sledgehammer was with a steak dinner, also very good, but it's always the chocolate that makes me weep. This is a rich, smooth, delicious wine.

I LIKE IT!

Check out my blog isheaso.com. I would love your input.

Cheers,

Sona

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.
