  Interesting wine from Greece. Some nice cherry tones and earth on the nose with more juicy cherry flavor on the palate. Nice dry finish. ($12)

  I agree with Aulus's TN on this wine. Good description as well.

  Sealed with a Supremecorq.
  It has a very young purple colour, but a lightish texture and a certain murkiness fits better with a two year old. There's quite a perfumed black fruit scent coming out of the glass, even before I get my nose in. There's sweet black fruit, some raspberries, chocolate, cocoa, lavender and a general garriqueyness, along with a hint of bubblegum. Nice and open on the attack, there is some obvious fruit there, but it's got a very pleasant restraint - much more so than I was expecing. I was definitely expecting a more powerful glassful than this. It has good structure and balance, with soft tannins and a good acidity. Very nice, very characterful, very drinkable. More interesting than I was expecting. If you wanted a comparator, I think the closest I could get would be if you imagined a Beaujolais made in Tuscany.

  Plum, pear and red berry with... YES! Bazooka Joe bubblegum. Never would have gotten that one on my own, but Tanglenet nailed it. Fruitty with a nice mineral aspect on the palate. Drinks like a better than average Gamay with enough uniqueness to be compelling. That said, I'm not a fan of the black rubber, Nomocorc (r), that Gaia uses. I think these impart something to the wine. It's a not unpleasant petrol-y aspect, but not related to the cultivar nor the vineyard. I scored this arbitrarily. How do you score an obscure Greek grape you've never had before? But 86 seemed low for this (given CT's bent toward high 80s), so I thought I'd kick up the average.

  Dry, medium to full bodied. Some good fruit and structure, not too acidic, and mellows wonderfully with time to breathe. Deep plum coloured. Would definitely get again.
