Thema Drama Syrah-Agiorgitiko Blend 2020

Nice dry with strong bright acid. Great leading aroma. A slight turn to passion fruit AKA Marlborough but not enough to detract from a fine refreshing glass. — 4 years ago

Epanomi Viognier 2016

Very expressive combination of floral and mineral aromas. Mouth puckering acidity that handcuffs any fruit that wants to get flabby. I will confess I was surprised to learn there was some new French oak utilized. What I love about wine and especially tasting blind is I am constantly reminded how little I know. — 7 years ago

8.9

A blend of 50% each Plavec and Vranec from a single vineyard in Macedonia.
Inky purple/black color. Nose is all brambles and leaf with a backing of spicy plum skin. Volume is large, texture is rich, oily and firming on the finish.

Evangelo Viognier Syrah

Amazing Greek Syrah from beautiful parts of northern Greece. Had this with friends. Wanted to hold off on opening but for such a young wine. Amazing. Give it another 10 years... even better. — 3 years ago

Epanomi Chardonnay 2021

Very deftly oaked, vibrant and with great energy.
Nice reduction with toasted sesame, flinty notes. Cool, fresh. Green rather than yellow fruit - underripe pineapple, green papaya. Highly enticing.
On the palate this poised, elegant, with tension, juicy acidity and nice depth. Much more exotic on the palate with guava, pineapple and a bit of spice with the oak adding to the breadth. The vibrant acidity holds everything in check.
Not a Meursault but not far at all.
Unexpectedly delicious.

I adore this botlle. Was my first date with a Greek wine. And indeed, this can be associated to Burgundy Pinot Noir or Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Naoussa Xinomavro 2015

Alcohol heat needs to burn off when first popped, but with a moderate decant/air has a lovely Nebbiolo-ish approach to its Greek DNA. Light red in appearance, white pepper & cherry life savers on nose. Medium light body, acid plus, edges rounded after a bit. Cherries & Persimmon on palate. Had w veal parm takeout, Pandemic style, before the last round of family Rummikub. Delicious, in a prickly kinda way. Made Asimov s top 20 wines under 20$. — 5 years ago

Moroccan cuisine and Greek wine are a winning combo tonight in Montreal at dinner with my little sister. Anise, jasmine, rose, lavender, raspberry, smoke and dust together form a light bodied wine with tension and intense fragrance. Absolutely lovely and a steal too. — 7 years ago
