Reviews and Ratings

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

Mineral, lime aromas that follow through on palate and joined by spicy and herbal notes at mid-palate towards the crisp finish. Off-dry and enjoyable. Tasted June 2012.
A go-to wine. This is a fabulous wine from a stunning vintage at a seriously good price. Alluring aromas of spice and nutty notes mingle with wisps of floral and tropical fruit on the nose. There’s a glorious mouthful of nectarine, peach and ripe pineapple decorated with racy lemon and toasty notes on the palate. Medium bodied with good mouth feel, there’s a lingering, balanced and lip-smacking aftertaste. Score: 4½ (out of 5) Source: Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com

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.
