This wine won a Gold Medal at the 2011 Concours Général Agricole, in Paris. Rich nose, featuring mulched leaves, blackberry, plum, smoked meat and pomegranate. Dry with forward fruit tones and cedary tannins bringing structure. This powerful wine is great now and will also continue to improve in a cellar for 2-3 years. Source: Vintages Wine Catalogue.

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.
