Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I have just recently discovered this beauty, that was also given 90 Points by Wine & Spirits. I love finding good wine, and I especially love finding good wines that don't break the bank. This Chilean Syrah is smooth and easy to drink. Ripe berry fruits with hints of spice, great for pasta, pizza and grilled meats.
This deep, ruby red colored wine has a medium body, good concentration, fine
balance and ripe tannins. Its intense fruit aroma is dominated by violets, tobacco and
blackberries wonderfully highlighted by oak notes.

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.
