Bilo Idro Plavac Mali
Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
Transparent dark garnet. Cranberry, black cherry, and red apple on the inviting nose and medium palate which adds a slight leathery note. Medium plus acidity and medium tannins from entry to the lengthy, slightly dark finish. Croatian powerhouse Plavac Mali is an offspring of Tribidrag -- better known in these parts as Zinfandel -- and any place you'd take that variety will be home for PM. Since it's an Old World wine, it's light enough to take the place of Pinot Noir in many situations. Drink now through 2027.

Amazing blend of indigenous varietals (Bogdanuša, Pošip, Maraština, Prč, Trebbiano Toscana), a truly mineral white (the white version is the marina cuvée) with an accented salinity which makes a perfect oyster companion and a great pairing with shell fish. Super crispy and crazy delicate and fresh.

You can taste the saltiness of the island on this wine, drier but almost with a cognac nose
