Vlahiko Dry Red Blend

Bright, fresh, earthy. Cranberries and funk.
Light bodied and great with a slight chill.
Makes me want lamb and veggie kebabs.

Would blind as an aged cru Beaujolais. Nice soft fruit.

This new red wine (only the second vintage made) is my new obsession. Once Dionysi poured this for us, I suspected I'd fall for it hard, but I guess I didn't imagine just how hard. Such a light-bodied, fresh character and it really reminds me of Nebbiolo growing in Valtellina, or perhaps young Pian del Ciampolo as it gets more savory with air. Such a marvelous bright, light bodied jewel; this is a gargantuan wine. 12% abv...lifted red fruit...more serious earthy aromatic allusions to graphite and leather, which help ground what would otherwise be irrationally exuberant somewhat tart fruit...yes! Yes, I say! Uncomplicated fresh bliss.

Lovely. Seems like the winemaking was perhaps a bit oxidative and there is a bit of unnecessary oak. To be reductionist, it's something in the realm of Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo. Not terribly high acid, and it's rich for the stated 12.5 abv, but it's definitely got that limestone character

Holy crap y'all

Sexy and seductive! You definitely can get lost in these aromatics fo sho!!! 💃🏽💃🏽🍷🇬🇷

Drank with a northern Greek mushroom and onion pie - so good!! The wine is leathery and meaty lots of savory characteristics with dark fruits and violets

2009. Fresh red berry fruit, pleasantly spiced, light on the finish. Direct, rustic and charming.

Mint and sea salt on the nose. Bright red fruit on the front of the tongue. But the fruit is immediately overwhelmed by an intense minerality. The tannic structure is too light to balance all the bitter mineral notes. A watery bitter wine with a long bitter finish.

I’ll recork this bottle and let it sit overnight. Let’s see if it opens up a bit.

it became insipid and sour on the following day. I can see why the ancient Greeks cut their wine with water.

At some point my 8.4 rating got pushed up to 9.9. I don’t know if this was user error on my part, but I corrected it.

Bright, earthy, red fruits, great w game, steak, dark chocolate
