Reviews and Ratings

Karri rated this wine as 100/100
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Consistently lovely every vintage. Aromas of dried currant, plum, and ripe blackberry with hints of oak, leather and war spice. Medium bodied on the palate with bright acidity, fruit is ripe and has nice layers of fruit, smoke, and spice on the finish. Enjoy with dried salumi and hard cheeses.
Cherie Cole rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This robust Italian red presents notes of dark plum, dried cherry, dark chocolate and a hint of sweet spice. Full-bodied with medium-high tannins. Pair this wine with roast Caribou, Moose or other game.

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.
