Alpha Estate
Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro
2018 vintage. Roasted red plum, cranberry, stewed cherries, graphite, leather, muted spice, dried herb. Good structure. Less Nebbiolo-like than other examples of the grape, incorporating a little more ripeness and baked quality to the fruit.

Mar 18th, 2019Really enjoyable and very dry Xinomavro red wine from Alpha Estate Hedgehog vineyard. Medium bodied and very muted red fruit. Very quaffable at only $19 if you shop. Little pricey here at $32

Feb 28th, 2019This is a new adventure for me and it didn’t disappoint. Black tea leaves, currant, and new leather up front. Lots of tightness, even after decanting for awhile. Dried plums, figs. The tanins are wonderfully balanced. Gotta get some more of this.

Feb 2nd, 2019Drop-dead gorgeous. Plums, red currants and flowers. Lovely, integrated oak. Typical bitter balance.
