Zagreus Winery

Vinica Mavrud 2019

Bulgarian wine amarone style. Dark purple (though dark out) dark fruit with hint of plum prune and cinnamon. Same on mouth with tannins that need some time. Long. Very good. May be my first Bulgarian wine. Definitely first with grape drying. — 3 months ago

Bio Thracian Valley Mavrud-Rubin Blend 2016

Striking label. Whimsical. Good color. Blood red and purple tinged. Aroma is unique. Water on dry sandstone, anise biscotti and cherry syrup. Maybe a rose petal or hip too. Flavors are fresh and rustic. Like an all-wood house in the country. Near the forest but on the edge. Easy and juicy. This change of pace red is a great wine to talk about and try with the wino nerds. I drank it solo, but I’ll try to get some more. — 2 years ago

Borovitza

North-West Gamza 2022

Wow, was not expecting much from an inexpensive Bulgarian rose, but this wine delivers. Reticent nose, but the palate bursts with dried strawberries and a wide swath of slightly grainy texture (from skin contact?) that really extends the finish. Imported by East West in Cambridge, MA. Worth finding before summer is over. — 3 months ago

Thracian Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Enjoyable and quite different from California cab. Somewhat dry and tight but does open up. A nice change from a country we don’t see too many wines from. — 3 years ago
