La Del Vivo Bierzo White Blend 2015

Lovely orange peel and ripe golden apples laced by vibrant acidity brimming with mineral energy and promise. The saltiness on the backend highlights the gorgeous Mediterranean pedigree of this wine in all its glory. — 8 years ago

Elios

Mediterranean Red

This was a very delicious Greek red blend, full of juicy dark fruits and a hint of floral and herbaceous notes which paired well with my grilled lamb and beef kebabs. — 9 years ago

Jose L. Ferrer

Veritas Roig Mediterranean Rosé Blend 2015

Crisp, fresh strawberry and watermelon aromas with just a touch of cranberry. Lively, fresh and fruity on the palate. Flavors of strawberry, watermelon, peach and a touch of citrus are followed by crisp, dry minerality and a bright, acidic backbone. The finish is long and dry with lingering minerality and citrus. — 10 years ago

Clos Ste. Magdeleine

Cassis Blanc Marsanne Blend 2012

Low on the radar and I hope it stays that way as enjoyable as this wine is.
45% Marsanne, 30% Ugni Blanc, 20% Clairette, 5% Bourboulenc
From seaside vineyards, the plots lie within direct sight of the Mediterranean in some cases or are towered over by the palisade like cap Canaille which forms part of the coast in Cassis.
The aroma is of stone fruits, fresh white spring flowers, fennel spice, all accented salty sea air. The palate is juicy white peaches sprinkled with sea salt, with a touch of licorice like spice. Excellent acidity and body, with a refreshing and clean finish.

Surprising. First thoughts #Mourvèdre + #garnacha + #mediterranean = big bold rustic wine. Nope! Totally the contrary, deep color but soft tannins floral aromas and blackberries. #Love it — 11 years ago

Tenuta di Fessina

Erse Etna Bianco Carricante Catarratto

Super clean nose with a hint of dainty white flower. Rush of lemon-lime and chalk immediately brightens up the mouth with a slightly effervescent zing, then a continuing waltz of elegant acid and minerals dances through the mid-palate, finishing with the trademark Etna ashiness and a touch of Mediterranean salinity. — 10 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2002

Scents of raisin, sumac, and alcohol, accented with date, fig, and raisin flavors. The high alcohol content makes it a bit hot to taste -- and sounds off-putting, but this wine works. Really well. The per bottle price at Zaytinya reflects a 3x markup, which is fair enough, but I'd buy this over and over again at $53 to have at home with a Mediterranean themed meal. — 10 years ago

Domaine Sigalas

Santorini Assyrtiko 2013

2013 vintage. Crushed sea shells, saline, and mineral. Good acidity. Mediterranean Chablis? Paired great with roasted chicken and smoked salmon. — 11 years ago

Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Frappato Nero d'Avola 2013

Funky, forest aromas. Light Mediterranean herbs. Mild dried cherry fruit. On the tongue 👅 it lends some juiciness, but finishes completely dry. — 9 years ago

Viña Olabarri

Rioja Blanco Viura Blend

A ripe blend with Viura aka Macabeo to the fore. Quite aromatic spicy notes of peach and hint of pepper finishing dry. Often typical of Mediterranean whites which have a rush of fruit cut short by piercing acid. Made for food. — 10 years ago

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2011

Delicious Mourvèdre a la Bandol -this 2011 is exceptional with black and red cherries, licorice root, vine clippings in all their pruned sap, and an herbaceous Mediterranean wisp of lavender. Such a star! — 10 years ago
