The grapes - Randall Grahm likes to call the Mourvedre fruit Mataro - hail from Contract Costa County’s Del Barba Vineyard, 56 acres of vines at an average age of 73 years.
The extremely dark wine smells of black pepper, burnt cherries, licorice, meat and smoke. It's a beautiful nose. Savory squared. Flavors of dark fruit power over the earth and coffee and mint . — 7 years ago
I've had too many wimpy Zins lately. This one is not. More like a Beefcake. I'll take it. — 8 years ago
This is the first vintage of Kallisti oak fermented & barrelled, by Yianni Boutari & Yanni Voyatzi (currently the head Oenologist of Boutari). Slightly oxidative complex nose, with honey, salinity, roasted nuts, touch of waxy nose, with a medium body fascinating & delish... and with a vibrant acidity. Boutaris at least in Naoussa & Santorini has crafted some jewels, that are still alive & kicking even after 20-30 years.
The last one I've tasted with Yiannis Voyatzis 2 years ago at two4eight after decanting it 1 hour after Yannis advice. THANK YOU YIANNI & YANNI! — 9 years ago

2012 April at Yiannis with Dave — 6 years ago
Really nice fragrant medium bodied white, hints of pear. At Muret la Barba in Berlin. — 7 years ago
16/20 (89/100)
Очень свежий и ягодный образец для своего возраста, насыщено. Малина, вишня, оттенки кедра, не очень плотное тело, не слишком интенсивные танины. Элегантно и симпатично.
