A refreshing nose of menthol, cloves, spice and cherry lead this alluring red. Soft, integrated flavors of cherry, vanilla, forest berries and pepper follow. Gentle tannins and an overall classic character add to its pretty appeal. An elegant sip.——S.K.(4/1/2010)—— 87

A minty, spicy nose and smooth, integrated flavors of berry, oak and pepper make this red from Greece a no-brainer choice for fans of unusual wines. Mild, mellow and friendly, the wine is a good example of the variety that, along with Xinomavro, has put Greek wine on the map.——S.K.(11/15/2007)—— 84
