2015 Diamantis Winery XinomavroSiatista more |
3/3/2019 - 4mentor Likes this wine: 91 pointsFirst enjoyed it at the winery in Siatista, Greece. Given the hot, dry conditions the wine is surprisingly restrained and very refined, like a good Oregon Pinot. Red berries and smooth tannins. A hint of savory herbs. Pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb. I wish it was distributed in the US. |
