Reviews and Ratings

Cave de Rasteau is one of the oldest wineries in the Rhone Valley with clay-chalk terraces covered in pudding stones on steep hillsides. Grape Vines are kept warm here day and night, and the wines produced in this area are typically high in alcohol because of the sugar levels wine grapes are able to achieve. La Domelière Rasteau is a red blend of old vine Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes. The wine is rich in black cherry fruit, black licorice and finished long with sweet spice and tobacco leaf. Indeed a hardy wine, it has good acidity to fruit with velvety tannins. Pair with cassoulets and rich meat dishes. - 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.
