Medium ruby. Red berries, vanilla and slightly oaky nose. Rich and supple, smooth velvety texture, fine tannins. Sharing the same latitude band as Burgundy and Russian River, the 40+ year old vines grow where two major weather fronts - the Aral Mountain continental and the Greek Aegean - collide, yielding virtually no rain. The result is a wine of terrific elegance and complexity, rich yet linear; pretty, but with power. A phenomenal value.
