Reviews and Ratings

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Broad and enjoyable nose of strawberry, violet, brown sugar, smoke, and tar. Ripe red fruit palate with mouthwatering acidity and grippy tannins. Tart cherry and cranberry on the finish. Intriguing red blend of six grapes, leads with Merlot, followed by Syrah, Petit Verdot, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sangiovese. Beef stew with carrots and potatoes would be an ideal pairing.
Lone Birch 2016 is a youthful and medium-plus-bodied red blend of Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Bright raspberry, fresh blackberry and dark plum flavours finishing savoury and spicy. One for 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.
