Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro

LOVE.

Plush red plum and tart raspberry with stewed tomatoes, very high floral tones and a strong savory streak

Really 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

sweet leather, barnyard, bing cherry, boysenberry...hint of menthol? lavender? fresh and dried red cherries, raspberry, currant. Medium + acid, firm tannins. I have thoroughly enjoyed this grape every time I’ve tried it.

Unexpectedly good: a bit of acidity, some must, Overall inoffensive, yet not uninteresting.

2015. Red currant. Well balanced for young wine. Just hint if minerality and old world.

Deep red but relatively clear appearance. Full bodied, red berries, redcurrants, slight acidity / tartness but complemented by a warming fruitiness on the tongue. Very nice with Greek food.

At emmer & rye

Dry, dark fruit, slight effervence, although a bit tinny
