Nov 3rd, 2018This winery is owned by an Argentine of Armenian descent. In Argentina his wineries are pretty top end. He hired Michel Rolland as his consultant and produces a good and very accessible wine with very good fruit. Blue and red fruits in this blend of Syrah, Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Montepulciano, and Khdoghni. Better than a lot of other Rolland wines I've had!

This is a mostly Syrah blend with some Malbec and Petit Verdot. It's a good solid red from a lesser known region . This will get better with a few years . The 2010 vintage which I had in 2012 was even better

Interesting Armenian Red Blend that includes Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Montepulciano, Petite Verdot, Malbec and the local Khnofoghni grape. Dark ruby/purple color. Savory nose of fresh dark cherry, blueberry, and green olives. Plush dark black fruit, dark chocolate and black pepper on the pallet. Lots of body and heft. Nice balance. Quite good.

This bold red is delicious. It pairs nicely with some pepperoni pizza. It makes me not want to eat my peas...but that could also be a lack of sleep. I feel this would also be a nice accompaniment to my All Dressed chips. Great impulse buy bc my half-brothers mother’s maiden name is Karas.
