Reviews and Ratings

Sara M - WSET Advanced reviewed this wine as follows:

Coonawarra Cabernets tend to carry a menthol note in the wine, and this one does not disappoint in that regard! Each varietal in the blend is well represented in this full-bodied beauty, showing other flavours that include plum, blackberry, spice and coffee. The soft, silky tannins last well into the finish. This wine pairs well with roasted lamb and gamey meats, and can also be enjoyed on it's own.
A fine example of the emerging elegance in Australian red wines. Features plentiful aromas of cassis, pepper, chocolate, cherry, woodsmoke and cinnamon. On the palate, it is dry and fruity, nicely balanced by lively acidity and moderate tannins. Full-bodied with a long, very well-structured finish. Cellar it 2-3 years, or have it tonight.

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.
