Boutari
Kretikos Kotsifali Mandilaria Blend
Crete, Greece
The Boutari family has been crafting wines from Greek varietals since 1879, when Yiannis Boutari first started producing red wines in the small northern village of Naoussa. A blend of indigenous red varieties, Kotsifali & Μantilaria, and sits in oak for12 months. Aromas of sweet red berry fruit. Flavors of spiced strawberry and cherry with firm tannins and an earthy character. Medium rustic finish ending with sweet mineral tang.

Jan 9th, 2018Bright red color but not translucent. Nose of bright ripe cherry and some minerality as well as a underlying bit of nuttiness. On the palate the wine is medium bodied and bursting with cherry and plum notes. Then a long finish as the fruits flavors fade and are replaced by notes of wet broken shale and earth. Mineral notes all throughout. Keeps the wine light and pleasent. Blend of 60% kotsifali and 40% mandilaria from crete. Tannic minerality on finish can be a bit sanguine.
