Plavac Mali, reportedly the Croatian equivalent of zinfandel... nonetheless, easy-drinking and earthy and downright lovely. — 8 years ago

Heavier bodied, medium plus acidity, high tannins, while still being fruit forward. Slight oak. Very good and balanced! — 10 years ago
We brought this back from our honeymoon. Delicious cherry, pepper, tannic punch. Brings me right back to the the Croatian Coast! — 10 years ago
Interesting wine from Croatia. Came from Corti Bros. — 11 years ago
Pleasantly different wine for me. Rose petal nose, dark sweet plum and black cherry flavor. Age smoothed the tannins a lot, but the acid and profile is good.
Paired for dinner of Greek blood orange and tomato chicken. Like I'm in the Adriatic now! — 8 years ago
Croatia might not be the first thing that comes up when you think about good wine, but it's definitely more than capable of producing great wines. Plavac Mali is closely related to Primitivo planted right across the Adriatic sea. Medium bodied with massive tannins even after 5 years in the bottle. Watermelon, dark fruits, herbs, and spices. Looks like it has a great ageing potential. — 8 years ago
Really really good wine from Croatia. Nice dark opaque red wine. Minimal purple. Orangey faded red rim. Notes of cherry and raspberry. Lots of baking spice and vanilla. Pepper. Good legs. Medium tannins with good grip. Woodsy taste. Very good wine! Paired with fish trio (monkfish, swordfish, sea bass). Wasn't the best combination as there were medium to medium strong tannins, but this was my fault as I elected both unprompted. This wine would have been an excellent steak wine. Really robust flavors and tannins would balance the richness meatiness of a good steak or even lamb. @2Ribara restaurant in Zadar Croatia — 9 years ago

The server introduced this one as sweeter than others in our Croatian tasting. I'm not so sure. Certainly less astringent but no fruit bomb either. If there's one thing I'd say about this one is that it should definitely be accompanied with food. You couldn't walk about throwing this one back at a party. Very nice though. — 10 years ago

A wonderful representation of Plavac Mali, a close relative of Zinfandel in the States and Primitivo of Italy. Very austere for a 2012 but complex with dusty, forest floor notes and stewed black fruit. Wonderful with the homemade pasta that is only made here on the island of Korčula. — 8 years ago

The Dignac is one wine not to pass up, very rare wine with a unique taste. A long finish with a subtle licorice taste. A real gem from Croatia! — 9 years ago

Drank a number of glasses at D'vino wine bar, Dubrovnik Croatia. Great place. Dingac is a delicious wine, specific grape/appellation combo. Haven't had a bad one yet. :-) — 10 years ago
If any red describes this part of the world, it's Dingač. Da bomb IMHO. — 11 years ago

Warm, strong and full of berryjam taste. Just as I remember it from a wine-tasting a couple of years ago in Dubrovnik. Also a significant aging. — 8 years ago
