Natalie's Score: 89/100

Excellent value on this full-bodied Corbières red blend of mostly Syrah with a smattering of Grenache and Carignan. Grape vines are an average of 30 years of age. Look for dark and red berry flavours on the palate with savoury herbs and sweet cake spice flavours on the palate wrapped up in toast oak. Winemaker, Guilhem Durand has been producing wine in the south of France for over 25 years. Pair with game dishes and mushroom risotto.

Food pairings: meat lover's pizza, tourtière, gourmet burgers.

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.
