May 31st, 2020Late night soif with @brandi tastes young, gripping, floral. A little dull on the palate.

Mar 31st, 2013Fantastic. This one from the Xinomavro co-op showed such grace and soft, spice. A veritable steal at $17 for the 2000. Only telling you cuz I just ordered another case...

Mar 10th, 2013While the Greek name 'xinomavro' translates to 'black acid', this wine was light in tannins and acidity, clean, mellow.
Violets and red plums in summer on ye nose and something more that I cant define. (In the second bottle I got it; artisan made strawberry pop tarts)
More violet but also strawberry on my tongue. Maybe I taste volcanic soil??
$34 Bottlesomm 8.9 per price range

Really interesting and very light bodied. Not as impressive as the Rieslings we had with dinner.
