Description

This wine is from 2015, which is a universally successful year for reds across Europe (see our April 27 release for a feature on this outstanding vintage). This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Agiorgitiko will be sunny and smooth, with cherry, plum and field berry fruit, good acidity and pinpoint tannic structure. Enjoy it with lamb or beef souvlaki, or a prime-rib roast.

Tasting Notes
This wine comes from Drama - the Greek region, that is - and the steady hand of consulting winemaker Michel Rolland. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Agiorgitiko, it's aged 12 months in French oak. Expect a spicy, brambly glassful of blackcurrant, wild berries, cherry and plum, and pair with lamb.[The Berliner Wein Trophy did not include a tasting note.] Score - Gold. (Berliner Wein Trophy, 2020)
