Reviews and Ratings

Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A lovely example of how attractive the Sicilian Nero d'Avola grape can be when handled well.

Deep ruby in colour, with complex, earthy aromas, ripe dark berries, cherry, plum, savoury nuances and hints of cedar. Bright, rounded acidity balances out the full body and concentrated fruit flavours nicely. This dry red finishes on firm, yet ripe tannins and well integrated, spicy French oak.

Very stylish and polished for the price.

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.
