Reviews and Ratings

Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 75/100 with the following review:

Alex: Simple nose of zin fruit, black cherry, cola, red licorice nutmeg and thyme. The palate is soft and polished, milk-chocolatey, unrealistically acidic, and a bit chemical.
Priya: This tastes great, for the first second or two--full and fruity, all a zin should be but then...what is that, rubber? Plastic? Not exactly sure but whatever it is, it tastes artificial.
Alex: An okay quaffer (that's Newfie for 'something to chug back') I suppose, but not special and over-priced at $20 a bottle.
Priya: He's right. I might not dissect it so much if I was drinking it with friends but it's certainly not a bottle I'd buy again. Lots of great zinfandels to be found in the same price bracket.

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.
