Reviews and Ratings

Neil Phillips rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Lots of red fruit and vanilla on the nose, with a hint of dark plums and meatiness.

On the palate, savoury notes (bitter cherry) atop raspberry, red plum.

Medium+ acid, this is looking for a nice tomato or red meat dish.
Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Subtle black fruits, fuller in the mouth though. Dried fruit, tart raspberry and cherry with some pomegranate and cranberry notes. Medium plus acidity and tannins with a lighter body and biting finish. 84 points

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.

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.
