Craig Haynes rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

There are no bumps in the road on this taste journey.

The 2018 Laura Hartwig Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the goods with aromas like violets, dark berry jam, savouriness and beautiful, extroverted flavours headlined by juicy blackberries and dark cherries.

From Chile’s Santa Cruz Denomination of Origin, this food versatile cab feels medium+ bodied, bone dry, with gentle tannins. This taste journey is capped off with a delicious, long finish. Enjoy.

Lynn van der Linde rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromas of red berries, leather, dried herbs and a hint of eucalyptus carry through into a lengthy eucalyptus flavour. Medium+ body, present but balanced acidity and tannins.
Pair with a charcuterie and cheese board or with lamb cigars wrapped in phyllo pastry.
Tasted June 2021.

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.
