Lots of minerals and salinity in the bone dry wine. Great summer sipper. — a month ago

Kotsifali grape grown in the Kamari region of western Crete in Greece, is made in the Marouvas style for a “more gentle” wine. Made by a female winemaker. No idea what Kapnapi is but try their website at lyrakis.com On initial pour, light to moderate pigment extraction, red plum in color, very good clarity. Aromas of unripe cherries and wood with a hint of butter/butyric. Soft mouthfeel, lightly flavored but a tad viscous. 14.9% alc/vol but not hot. Light mint and herbal notes in aftertaste. Quite different a wine, tasty but I’m not sure what I should be looking for in this variety. Good craft here, keep fighting the good fight against the patriarchy! Paired well with green chicken enchiladas as the snow was coming down outside. 24 hours later, light chewy tannins emerge, along with grape fruit, soft acid, and just a bit of aldehydic-sherry character. Fun wine, savory, not fruit forward. I’d decant it though. Would like to revisit this one. — 3 years ago

Medium bodied, good concentration and length, with floral and melon flavours. A very good vibrant wine. Conceptually somewhere between a Godello and a Chenin Blanc. — 6 years ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. 100% Mandilari from the Plakoura vineyard on Crete. It has seen a mix of new and used oak; French and American. This was really lovely after about 30min of air. Though darker complected, this is mid-weight red with lovely freshness. Bright plums and bramble fruits with some dry stony earth, dried herbs and a strong spine of minerals. Tannins are medium; acid is medium+. Long finish. This rocked with my traditional meal of goat prepared in “staka” (which made it unbelievably tender) with potatoes. — 3 years ago

2014 is a big, smoky Syrah, mandilari, and merlot blend. Could age another 10 years, the Greek alternative to a Rhône blend that will change your perceptions of Crete. — 8 years ago

Цитрусовые (лимон, лайм), белые садовые цветы (лилия?), ваниль. Изящный, тонкий аромат. Вкус полный, тельность чуть выше среднего, кислотность умеренная, "хрустящая". Было бы 17,5/20, если бы не выпирание алкоголя на финише. — 11 years ago
