Smells like a generic international-style wine, without much typicity or definition. Kirsch cherry and herbs on the nose, similar flavours on the palate with a hint of pepper and smoke, ends with smoke and a plastic-like note. Medium bodied and medium-bodied tannins. Savoury profile. For drinking within 1-6 years of vintage, not for cellaring.

Easy drinking medium-light bodied red wine. Fresh cherry, a bit of plum, smooth tannin structure, and decent acidity. Not much to think about. A good summer red wine.....drinks well when served a bit cooler than room temp.

Dark reddish purple. Nose spicy currant. Taste is rich and spicy; cloves, black pepper. Nice mouthfeel, thin mid palate but nice finish. Went well with stuffed shells in red meat sauce. An interesting and enjoyable wine. Day 2 update; a bit syrupy, the mouthfeel has deteriorated and integration slipped. "Slick" is the word that comes to mind. Still interesting.

A pleasant low-priced Agiorgitiko with red currant and clove. Worth the money, but not close in quality to Gaia's Estate bottling.
