Reviews and Ratings

This award-winning Montepulciano is deep ruby in colour with lifted aromas of black cherry, blueberry, roasted coffee and vanilla. It’s dry, medium bodied, intense and flavourful with juicy black-fruit flavours and hints of anise and cherry pit adding some interesting bite. Structured with medium tannins and tangy acidity, and decent length to the balanced finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

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.
