2011. I don't go in for overly figurative tasting notes but this wine's got moxie, character. It knows what it's about. Others mentioned nebbiolo, but from the Hellenic side of the street. I agree, and with the Greek element comes some brio, some spunk. A wink and a conspiratorial smile. Let's cut to the chase: I really like the wine. $29. 13.5% abv.

Deliciouso. Had with another younger xinomavro. #winenerd this one was similar to a cali cab. Dark red opaque in color. Super dry. Black cherry and rhubarb. So smooth, blueberry pie, full bodied. Would Love to have again.

Parents night out at the cape. Greek wine coming in at a great value as usual compared to the rest of a somewhat questionable wine list. Raspberries predominate, medium tannins, clean finish. Really good.
