Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

An eclectic mix of flavours, but I thoroughly enjoyed! It's standout features include cherry, licorice/spearmint, tobacco, and savoury smoked meat. The more worthy feature, however, is the high enticing acidity. Tannins are young and grippy but nicely balanced. Enjoy pairing with lamb harissa stew. Tasted Aug 2016. @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
This 2012, robust Chianti Classico needs some cellar time to evolve and mature. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
