Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Lovely! Aromas of red cherry and raspberry, along with some notes of sweet tobacco, dried sage, and a hint of warm vanilla. Full bodied, with soft tannins, and velvety tannins. Fruit is dark and mingled with some herb and spice notes, with a lengthy finish. Enjoy with pork roast.

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.
