I’m very impressed with the balance and nuance to this Chardonnay. Just enough NFO (new French oak) to stainless steel utilized in aging to impart stone fruit, pair and good acidity with brioche and toasty notes. Serve slightly cooler than you would most Chardonnay’s, round 58 degrees. I would give it 92 points. Highly recommend. Low malolactic. — 7 months ago

Really enjoyable and very dry Xinomavro red wine from Alpha Estate Hedgehog vineyard. Medium bodied and very muted red fruit. Very quaffable at only $19 if you shop. Little pricey here at $32 — 6 years ago

Very aromatic with unctuous cider like pucker and feel in the palate. Very different for Assyrtico. I enjoyed. $29 here at Cadet — 6 years ago

This wine is fantastic. The standout at a Greek wine tasting. Minerality and lemon grass on the nose. Stone fruit that has a lingering finish. Highly recommend at $36 here. — 6 years ago
