Reviews and Ratings

Produced by Delicato Family Vineyards, the Zinfandel grapes for this Californian red wine grow on old vines with gnarled tops, thus the name. Smooth tannins. Try it with meat lovers pizza. - 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.

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.
