Sipping Fine Wine

Light to medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of tart cherry and cigar box spice. Medium finish, grippy tannins, screaming acidity ending with earthy character.

Alcohol heat needs to burn off when first popped, but with a moderate decant/air has a lovely Nebbiolo-ish approach to its Greek DNA. Light red in appearance, white pepper & cherry life savers on nose. Medium light body, acid plus, edges rounded after a bit. Cherries & Persimmon on palate. Had w veal parm takeout, Pandemic style, before the last round of family Rummikub. Delicious, in a prickly kinda way. Made Asimov s top 20 wines under 20$.

Warm red plums, in the nose, cherry, fruity black olive. Light-med body with elegant tannin structure in the finish. Earthy and concentrated, affordable mid-week wine when you are craving Brunello or Barolo.
