Santorini White Blend

Surprised its richness and weight on the palate. Considerably oily, driven by phenolics of green almond, olive, and wax. Subtle nose, lemon, a touch of fennel, petrol. Certainly saline. Seems to have considerable lees integration. Curious on the blend because the acidity seems a touch soft for an Assyrtiko dominant wine.

Sad to say this because it’s not exactly an overly hyped region, but I’ve been repeatedly disappointed with Greek island/Santorini whites recently. This one has fine mineral, citrus and white flower aromas but then it just sits dead on the palate. So many taste of commercial yeast and an “international” winemaking style lacking vibrancy.

Nice Greek saline white with lemony fragrance

Peach, green apple, white flowers, and citrus. M+ acid. M- body. Bitter on the mid palate but still balanced.

So delicate when first opened, grass, pastel gauze. Fennel with herbal oval-shapes later. Mild bitterness, dominated by acid and glycerine. Pedal-steel mouthfeel.

Had this as part of a flight at Heritage Wines in Beverly Hills. Not a great candidate for an everyday, easy-drinking wine but don’t be put off by the medicinal smell. It has a touch of salinity and a welcoming mineral finish.

Beautiful bright white with subtle citrus

Pop up from nyc.

Nice minerals and fruit

Quite a nice and interesting assyrtiko dominated wine from Greece. Boulud Sud has really stepped their wine by the glass program, any wine geek would be happy. This was very textured, resin-y even, with good ripe white fruit and good acid on the finish.
