Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is one of my favourite Portuguese wines. A more modern approach to the blend, not to mention the cartoon label. Fresh berries float on smoke on the nose. It has good fruit concentration on the palate. Tannins lend structure without any rough edges. It is smooth with a decent finish. Drinks like twice the price! What's not like here? Tasted Dec 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
From the Alentejo wine region, a great value, full-bodied red wine blend of Aragonez, Touriga Nacional, Castelão and Trincadeira. Juicy with ripe cherry, berry spicy and with firm, chewy tannins. Pair with grilled lamb chops. The wolf on the label of Solar dos Lobos Regional 2017 is part of the family's coat of arms. - 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.
