Vieilles Vignes Santorini Assyrtiko de Mylos 2012

At winery...actually tasted 2013, which had not been labeled, so used 2012 for picture. Single vineyard called Mylos, which is owned by Monastery. Farmed by Hazidakis, now certified organic, and with 120 year old vines on own rootstock. — 11 years ago

Arguably the greatest Assyrtiko produced.

Cheeseburger Red

Big kudos here, to the vintners, for providing just a little spice on the nose introducing flavors that present smoothly right after pulling the cork and results in big ole mouthful of jammy red fruit covering the entire palate with proper tannins and an easy finish resonating trails of what started as it drifts down one's throat. I found this, very affordable, yet right-on red wine at Promise Land Market (top-notch craft beer and wine bar that has become my fall hang while back home in Morehead City, NC; checkout the superb yet casual charcuterie). All a delight! (especially the people; come and see...) — 11 years ago

Crocker & Starr

Casali Malbec 2009

Another marvelous Malbec from Crocker & Starr, Napa. French Malbec rootstock grafted to estate vines. Just the right amount of Petit Verdot added to give this a pleasing sour cherry tang on finish. Has time to go in bottle. =) — 12 years ago

Cien y Pico

Doble Pasta Manchuela Garnacha Tintorera 2008

2008, Cien Y Pico, Doble Pasta Garnacha Tintorera, Manchuela. Hundred year old Grenache vines on their own rootstock. Heavy extraction and probably no fining nor filtering. Intense red and black berry flavors, countered with a lot of spice. Not your typical Grenache but very tasty. Glad I have 2 more. — 11 years ago
