Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This wine is generous and sweetly fruited, featuring linzer, creme de cassis, crushed violets, herbs, earth, plum skin and a hint of tobacco. There is also some minerality here. 92 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
Cora Beaulieu rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Garnet red in color, this wine has lovely aromas of dark cherry, plum and soft oak. Velvety and medium dry finish on the palate, tastes of heavenly plum, ripe black and red fruits. Good lengthy finish of mocha/cocoa. Great paired with a selection of nutty hard cheeses.
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Deep purple with aromas of stewed raspberry, strawberry, and plums, with a distinct earthy character. Medium acidity and medium-high fine, rounded tannins. Great balance and structure. Pair with steak.
Gwen Barton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Lovely deep garnet coloured. Nose of dark cherry, plums and sweet spice. Dark fruit, spice and oaky notes on the palate. Big, but well integrated tannins. Pair with carmelized ribs or steak fajitas.
Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This wine smells amazing. It’s the type of wine I could smell for hours: rich black cherry, raspberry, plum, violets, leather and cedar. What a treat for the palate! Moderate dark fruit in this full-bodied red with well-integrated tannins. Perfect for winter stews or meats off the grill.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A richly fragrant blend of Merlot, Cab Franc and Cab Sauv from France's Fronsac region. Ripe cassis and strawberries with touches of dried herbs and oak in a mouth-watering, smooth palate. Great gift wine.
Tasted Nov. 2016

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.
