This Xinomavro offers a sturdy nose of cherry, spicebox, leather and pepper, with balanced favors of deep spice, red fruit and leather. The wine has pronounced acidity and smooth tannins. Pair with roasted meats, cheeses.——S.K.(8/1/2009)—— 85

One of Greece’s biggest wine exporters, Boutari has the formula for smooth, accessible wines. A soft red color leads to a big but polished Xinomavro with chocolaty flavors of mixed berry, spice and a spritz of lemon. A great match for roast rack of lamb. ——M.D.(12/15/2006)—— 88
