Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 4

Medium bodied blend of xinomavro and merlot. Stylistically, this leans more toward the savoury old-world. I enjoyed the ripe red fruit, sour cherries, and hint of earth. A bit of vanilla checks in but doesn't get in the way of the overall character of the wine. Seems to me to be drinking quite nicely right now. Picked up on sale at $13.75...a bargain by anyone's standards. Tasted Oct 2017.
