Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Pale ruby/garnet, light, dry and smooth. Fresh berries, tart cherry and cranberry, kirsch, baking spices. Mild tannins and fresh acidity make this a very approachable wine. Perfect for all your favourite white meats, salmon, seafood or pizza. Price performer.
Tasted: January 2016
Randy Thomas is winemaker of this luscious Australian Pinot Noir that's made using a wild fermentation and about 12% whole cluster bunches of grapes. - 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.

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.
