All the character and flavors of a sauv blanc but with all the heft of a Chardonnay. Light herbal notes of bay and rosemary underpinning a strong Persian lime rind. Hints of volcanic soils and just a heavy white that has a refreshing citrus acidity on the finish. Went great with pork souvlaki. — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; consumed over an hour. The 2018 Nostros Blend is an interesting combination of Rhône varieties. A GSM with a touch of Roussanne. The wine pours a deep garnet color with medium+ viscosity; faint staining of tears. On the nose, a combination of ripe and stewed red, black and blue fruits, oiled leather ball glove, black pepper, olive tapenade, salmiakki, tomato leaf, dry rocky minerals and just a hint of warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium (+?) tannin, medium acid. Alcohol is medium + but comes across a touch hot. Finish is long and spicy. My favorite red so far from Manousakis. Should drink well through the end of the decade. I can sense Laurence Féraud’s hand on this ❤️ — 3 years ago
Another great Orange wine from this Cretan producer. Very mild orange flavor but the hint of citrus just pleases. The nose is flowery and just perfume. This — 3 years ago

Beautiful Crete wine. Easy drinking. — 8 months ago
Popped and poured; no formal notes. The wine is light ruby with abundant ripe red bramble fruits, bruised strawberry, warm spices. The structure is basically medium; medium tannin and medium acid. Not the most complex Grenache out there but it gives me a lot of Southern Rhone vibes. Tasty. — 3 years ago

Raspberry red, light to moderate pigment extraction, excellent clarity. Black currant and cherry aromas, light body, alcohol, juicy red fruit flavors with seed and skin tannins on finish. Acidity and fruit remind me of drinking cranberry juice, but this is all grape deliciousness. Quaffable and different, good stuff. Give the tannins a couple of hours to resolve. A licorice-like aftertaste will emerge alongside the red fruit flavor. — 3 years ago
Really good. I know nothing about Greek wines. But for $20, this is superb. Well balanced. My kind of wine. Buy more. — 5 years ago
