Im not too familiar with these varietals but this drinks like a hearty california syrah. Clear deep ruby color, with a masculine nose featuring cut wood, nuts, plums and cherries. There’s a bit of heat from high alcohol and strong acidity levels, medium tannic structure, but a good feel. Lots of ripened fruit, chocolate, and spice. Long warm finish.
65% Kratošija / 35% Vranec.

The wine is clear and bright with a deep (opaque) ruby colour. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of walnut, cedar, black pepper, dark plums and dark cherries. The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(+) acidity. It has fine-grained tannins and a high slightly warm alcohol. It has a full body and medium(+) intensity flavours. The finish is medium(+). Interesting wine, different. It is balanced in the mouth, with a very integrated acidity, and a decent concentration and length. Maybe a bit too bold, but nice overall.

I love it! Only two bottles left in my distributors inventory so I decided to grab one and now I hope the other one is still there. This 65% Krastošija and 35% Vranec blend is full bodied with loads of ripe fruit coupled with a touch of spice. The bottle description suggests wild boar as a pairing. Not having boar readily available I grills two medium rare dry aged ribeyes. May I suggest you do the same.
