Reviews and Ratings

Yalumba, The Strapper 2016 is a sensuous Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre red wine blend from the Barossa Valley, Dry, delicious and smooth with layers of pink florals, blueberry, rose petals, dark chocolate and cinnamon spice flavours finishing long and smooth on the palate. Tannins are velvety. Each varietal was hand-picked and small-batch fermented with some aged in French oak barrels, puncheons and oak vats to increase the complexity of the final wine . The GSM blend is a stalwart of the Barossa. Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre vines were planted in this region over 170 years ago and were initially blended to make a fortified, tawny port style wine. - 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.
