Šibenik Plavac Mali
Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
Nose is gorgeous and expressive, suggesting cherry liquer, ripe plum, hard candy. Blood orange and pomegranate flavors. Nebbiolo-like impressions.

Plavac is a close relative of Zinfandel that is still widely grown in their ancestral home of Croatia. Softer and less boisterous than its well known American cousin. Black tea, licorice, and pepper back up the fruit notes of black cherry and blackberries.

Crazy mulchy, fennel seed, caraway seed, dried herb and dried fruit nose. Totally punches above its weight, if you ask me.

Incredible, fragrant nose - sandalwood and bursting with black currant, maybe some black tea in there, too. Dry mouthfeel, like wool socks that were kept in a wooden drawer all season and then somehow got left out in the rain.

Small blue grapes from the Dalmatian coast create a wine that is very dark, yet fruity. A close relative of Zinfandel, so they say. But lighter and less spicy with a pleasant saltiness. Zlatan reminds one more of the sea than the terroir.

Wonderful memory evoking wine of our times in Croatia. Great example of a field wine of worthy character emblematic of Croatian know how. Lovely!
