Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This Sangiovese Merlot blend is a trip worth more than once. Its intense aromas evoke red berries preserve as well as some stunning herbal character like eucalyptus among others. Wow.

This blend feels weighty (but not heavy), bone dry with a minimalist silky tannin character with the flavours tastes fresh for this wine’s age (a tip of the hat to the wine makers) with plenty of red cherries and berries are present along with some lovely savoury accents. Impressive. Serve this with charcuterie, grilled meats or hard cheeses. Enjoy.

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely color and complex flavors of ripe red fruit, herbal and earthy notes. Layered tannins coupled with acidity, and a round finish. Great sipper. Elegant wine. Enjoy!

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.
