A pretty floral and elegant red fruit driven wine. Reminds me of Beaujolais meets Pinot Noir. Red floral notes, red cherries, red plums, pomegranate, clove, a touch of toast. The body is silky with pronounced acidity and a touch of bitter tannins in the back palate.

For all the fans of floral reds out there, this is so pretty and juicy. Terrific value as well.

Light ruby in color with light intensity and a brick rim.

Fruity nose of blueberries, strawberries, currants, plums, earth, leather, green pepper, coffee, chocolates, tobacco, black pepper and spices.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Bone dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, strawberries, raspberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco and peppercorn.

Medium plus on the finish with angular tannins and black pepper.
An Interesting wine from Naoussa, Greece. Unfiltered, 100% Xinomavro grapes.
Light in color, yet big in tannins, earthy and balanced. A great BBQ wine.
Drinkable now, but still very young, and can age for a long time.

Made from 100% Xinomavro grapes.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Dry/tannins like a cab, yet lighter. Tart cherries. Paired wonderfully with what may very well be the best burger in Alameda.

A wine that "matured" very well over a 24 hour period! Going from tasting almost oxidised to have delicious black currant and ripe cherry notes and a strong tannic presence
