Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

very earthy example from the co-operative Cave de Rasteau. Earthy animal with some solid structure. Age this one to smooth the structure and to allow some of the floral and fruit elements to re-emerge as is the case with Rhone. Age 3 years.
Ortas Prestige 2013 is a well-priced, full-bodied and juicy Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre red wine blend from the Cave de Rasteau in the Rhône wine region. Cave de Rasteau was founded in 1925. This blend of Grenache, Syrah and comes from vines over 50 years of age. This is a perfect wine for the barbeque. - Community Wine Review

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.
