Femina

Really complex white! Very herbal nose, orange blossom, rosemary, cedar. Drinks with a bitter note that I don’t care for but very dry and, medium bodied with pear skins and lemon. Had with Greek sausage baby broccoli pasta & it went really well with the food. Would love to have again and try with other fuds. — 7 months ago

Nostos Red Blend 2018

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 ❤️ — 8 months ago
