Yianakohori Naoussa Xinomavro Merlot Blend

Thank you, Chris Struck! What a treat. This got the 2019 vintage off to a great start.

Brilliant for the price

One of the most approachable Xinomavros I've tasted (might be the merlot, probably not the jetlag), this wine has an abundance of fruit sailing above its tannins and balancing out the acidity. Cherries and plums at its center, long, rustic at heart but urbane on the outside, with a sophisticated, lingering (but not at all cloying) finish. Is this the template of a Xinomavro wine that could find acceptance in the U.S. Market? Maybe so... #win. #greece #naoussa

Really pleasurable drink. Lovely structure, deep presence in the mouth. Strong tannins but not aggressively so. Aged to the extent that the berries, leather, tobacco meld nicely. well done Greece!

Very interesting

Excelent!!!

Nice Xinomavro blend with lot tones of Merlot in taste and color!

Had this amazing Merlot at the Venetian Well in Corfu. Amazing cherry notes and very dry! Smooth wine with a slight hint of spice! Amazing 5 star meal!

A gift. For me a bit too round and sugary. Some oak influence. Overall, not my cup of coffee.

Great merlot! Very dry at first, but excellent finish with lots of flavor.
