Reviews and Ratings

Sean O'Regan - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Jan 29, 2014: Dark ruby with a lovely nose of red fruit, currant and dried cherry, wood spice, leather and chocolate. Palate shows raspberry, cherry, currant, cedar and spice with juicy acidity and grippy, dusty tannins. Medium weight and finish, I would have easily guessed a quality Rioja. Decant for at least an hour and serve with grilled beef with some marbling, firm cheeses or turkey pot pie. Just a notch up from the also excellent 2009 vintage.

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.
