Reviews and Ratings

From Edna Valley Vineyard, Central Coast, California. this is a full-bodied, well-crafted Californian Cabernet produced from grapes grown in vineyards first planted in the 1800s. Fresh on the nose with black currant, plum, mocha and spicy aromas, smooth on the palate with blackberry, dark cherry, plum, cedar spice and smoky flavours on the palate. Tannins are silky. Easy to enjoy with a juicy rib eye from the grill. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
