A blend of Xinomavro, Krassato and Stavroto grown on the slopes of Mount Olympus. Nectar of the gods?
Fresh, aromatic, enticing nose full of red fruit, dried herbs, flowers, with some baked clay notes and a peppery note towards the finish. Reminds me a bit of COS Cerasuolo from Sicily, but more aromatic.
On the palate this is surprisingly light - yet with loads of character! Nicely polished tannins, juicy acidity, great tension. The fruit slowly mellowing, but there’s depth here, a mineral core and a flow that is just amazing.
At ~20€ this is just unbelievable & unbeatable value. Delicious!! — 17 days ago

Reminiscent of a Nebbiolo in its acidity and a Pinot noir in its minerality. You won’t find this much harmony in many other wines. — 4 years ago

Lemon zest, candle wax, sea salt, almost ripe nectarine...what a glorious dinner companion. Round, almost viscous, but zippy acidity and a long caressing finish. I am smitten with white Italian varietals nurtured in California and largely unoaked. — 6 years ago

A pure delight summer sipper. Medium weight, nice crisp texture. I am falling in love with a few Sonoma Italian blends. Clean, largely unoaked, food-friendly wines that let the food shine while elevating fruit, acid, alcohol to a whole new level. Perfect for the first 90+ Chicago summer day. — 6 years ago

9.4

This is a beautifully elegant nebbiolo with generous aromatics, a silky smooth mouthfeel, and refined tannins providing just a touch of grip on the finish. Notes of cherry, mint, and white pepper come through on the nose, and on the palate additional flavors of cloves, orange zest, and violet add complexity. Finish Is moderately long, with lingering notes of spice, cherry, and bitter orange. This paired well with pan-seared duck breast and a port wine blueberry reduction sauce. Light/medium bodied with high acidity. — 13 days ago

Surprising. Not a super orange color but bright and with some pleasing oak notes. Heavier than a Sav Blanc but still light. More body in a good way. Would try again. — 6 years ago

9.3

Gorgeous, Bordeaux-like nose of cassis, red and wild licorice, tobacco, forest floor, loamy earth and damp leaves. The palate is bright, lifted and classically structured, with incredibly pure fruit, huge freshness and electric acidity. Big Cabernet tannins give it serious grip, but the wine remains juicy and elegant, with sweet cassis fanning out across an extraordinary, mouth-watering finish. Needs a ton of air, but the material is superb. — 2 months ago
