The 2008 ROSE (DRIOPI) is all Agiorgitiko. It has good acidity, and needs it to cut the very fruity demeanor this wine always has, with very obvious cherry notes. It is not quite sweet, but it isn’t shy. This is Agiorgitiko in full flight. That said, it has enough acidity to keep this from going too far to the candied side. It will certainly be a crowd pleaser, gentle, friendly and flavorful. It is best drunk on release. Drink now-2010. Importer: Cava Spiliadis, Astoria, N.Y.; tel: (718) 728-0022
