Reviews and Ratings

Sean O'Regan - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

The wine is made from the Marquette grape blended with Cabernet Sauvignon.
Deep ruby, fruity nose of blueberry, dried cranberry, plum, floral, smoke. Flavous of cherry, red currant, plum and light spices. Medium bodied, round, silky mouthfeel before fine drying tannins creep up on the medium finish. Pair with turkey or a beef/pork tenderloin or tourtiere.
Tasted December 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.
