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

Sep 8th, 2019One 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

Dec 10th, 2015Really 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!

Dec 14th, 2019Had 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!

Aug 27th, 2016A gift. For me a bit too round and sugary. Some oak influence. Overall, not my cup of coffee.
