Craig Haynes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Hailing from Four Mile Creek, the Niagara Peninsula’s largest sub-appellation, this elegant Merlot stars ripe red fruit, sweet spices and cedar wood aromas teamed up nicely with pleasing flavours like red berry, plums and spice.

It feels medium bodied with punchy acidity and silky, low-key tannins. I’ll serve this with grilled pork tenderloin and chicken kabobs. Enjoy.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is a bright and juicy Merlot, with aromas of red cherry and plum with a stony, mineral background. Medium bodied, bright red fruit on the palate and medium+ acidity, with just a subtle touch of tannins. Enjoy with burgers, sausages, or hearty casseroles.
Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Popular for a reason, the Peller Estate Merlot 2019 shows quality for a great price. Aromas of red currant, red plum, violet, new leather and cedar. Crafted in the lovely Niagara region of Canada, the wine exposes a medium body, soft tannins and bright acidity. The finish is lively, leading to flavors of tart plum, red currant, dried leaf, leather, spice and cedar. Enjoy.

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.
