Red WotN. Nebbiolo ringer but lacks the depth and soul of a Barolo. Impressive. — 2 days ago

Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro 2010

On the nose, this is all red current... Raspberry takes over for me on the palate... Tart but not overly acidic. Graphite. Light vegetal. Tannins are smoothe... Red plum skins. Very powdery pepper. The finish is just medium and there the raspberry turns more candied or artificial. We paired with serious BBQ fare... Brisket and smoked chicken legs... I think the raspberry notes here really worked with the BBQ as we didn't include any rich molasses-y BBQ sauces. The Greek origin of the wine had me include quite a bit of oregano in the rub for the chicken which also seemed to elevate with the wine. — 4 months ago

Read about this bottle on Noble Rot and it is indeed great despite its reasonable price.

Think of a more delicate, drier, and a bit raspberry-floral Nebbiolo.
