Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Tar coated black raspberries, black currants, graphite, garrigue, and crushed rock. Incredibly structured wine, has at least a decade left on it. It's easy to forget about Fitou and Minervois when there are so many great values coming in from the Southern Rhone, but at $20 and 91 points, it tips the scales further towards the south. (ottawawinejournal.com)
This robust blend of Syrah, Carignan and Grenache also received a Gold Medal at the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards. Juicy raspberry and blueberry aromas. Mouth-watering, chunky black currant fruit palate with chalky notes. Chewy tannins and bold acidity. Score: 5 (out of 5) Source: Decanter

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.
