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

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

93/100pts, 4.4⭐. Arcadia, home of legends & the oldest Gewurztraminer of Greece, here in 2017 vintage.
Yellow with silver hues.
Impressions of seductive tropical florals in misty nursery on enchanting nose.
Med+ body with elegant acidity in playful mood with solid minerality.
Lychee, marjoram, unripe apple & half baked bread notes in layered palate.
Awesome aftertaste, slightly off dry spring herbals. Long finish.
🗨 2017 vintage proves the most elegant Gewurzt ever produced in Greece.

Regardless of how dark a grape is, island/hot coastal wine regions in that part of the world (Greece and Italy, Spanish and French islands, etc). Always seem to have a fresh minerality to them. Black tea, currants, dry, dry, dry. Very dark, but all freshened up by that island minerality. — 5 years ago

By far the most earthly wine I ever tried. Wind, smoke, pronounced grilled bread when just opened. A really rare variety, Mouhtaro, fortunately not to be found easily. Like a good poetry. — 7 years ago
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
Tart with smooth dry finish and some caramel/chocolate finish. A winner with both of us. — 8 years ago

Clear clean and slightly crisp. Passion fruit of the Sauv Blanc on the aroma without the over done gooseberry flavors. Dry with mineral and acid brightness. — 4 years ago
