Reviews and Ratings

Diana Sobolewski Owner, Les Vins Aldi rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

The color is a deep red reminiscent of fine Burgundy. Seductive red berry aromas come to the forefront and are followed by pleasant cedar aromas. Tantalizing red fruit notes and a touch of spice are enveloped by creamy texture and silky tannins. This fresh medium-bodied South African wine has the finesse and complexity as well as the long, elegant finish of a well made serious Burgundy. It is ready to enjoy immediately. As a superior example of cool climate 100% Pinot Noir, this wine is very versatile: Equally good with well seasoned baked salmon and braised meat dishes. Serve at 15 Celsius.

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.
