Lovely wine. Paired with venison. Decanted for a couple of hours. Full-bodied. Dark cherries, blackberries, a hint of dark chocolate, and Smokey. Very satisfying. — 7 months ago

Delicious! I like Sauvignon Blanc, but some of it can be overpowering for me. On the other hand, love Assyrtiko. This is a beautiful blend! Not only terrific fruit and minerality, but nice and dry…and it has some brine…I dare even say a green olive tinge. Loved it…and even tastier when in Cyprus ;-) — 2 years ago

Among the nicest new world Syrahs I've found. Noticable tanins, smokey bite that gets stronger after a few days. — 3 years ago

I’ve loved the wines from Alpha Estate for years but this was the first time trying the SMX blend. It did not disappoint. Full-bodied and dark, it produced flavors of blackberry, plum, chocolate, vanilla, and earth. Definitely needed some air before opening up fully, but it could have spent another couple of years in the bottle. 60% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 20% Xinomavro. 4/29/25. — 8 months ago

Tasted in 2019 and thought it needed 3+ years, well worth the 6 years, softened nicely but still has time left — 9 months ago

A Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend of all 5 Bordeaux varieties, aged for 10 months in 25% new French oak, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, oak and cigar box spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and currants with cacao and herb spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and earthy mineral character. Nice! — 2 years ago

Opened to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. For the first time my wife and I’s palates differ. She did not care for it as she’s not a fan of coconut. I loved it. Slow, great build. Cantaloupe. Coconut finish. — 3 years ago

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. — 4 years ago
