Price:  ~$14

Type/Region:

A red wine from the Nemea wine appellation in the Peloponnese, Greece.

Nose:

Fairly shy but picking up a little cherry, plum and vanilla.

Palate:

Full bodied with good acidity.  Tons of ripe dried fruit and spice.  Long meaty finish with spice and pepper.

Synopsis:

Not an ultra complicated wine but great for what it is.  If you love Côtes du Rhône or Argentinian Cabernet, I think this Greek Agiorgitiko (grape variety) might be up your alley.

The Som Rating: 6/10 Scarlett Johansson Heads
