Interesting stuff here....brought home in a suitcase from Croatia. Seemingly similar to Sangiovese but had a bright cherry flavor that was lifted by a slight bit of residual sugar. 11% alcohol

New variety for us. Somewhere between Chianti and Pinot. Floral aromatics and sour cherry/acid on palate. Great, tight structure. Even a little old world leather in there. Very good with crispy skin salmon.

A delightful Croatian red (Plavac Mali) that pairs well with Indian food

This wine is ubiquitous in Croatia...they even sell it at the gas station. But it’s not as bad as I assumed. Juicy cherry, very drinkable. Not world class, but very decent.
