A soft, fragrant nose of balsam, spice and cherry unfolds into integrated red berry and spice flavors on this poised red. Approachable yet elegant, the wine offers slight smoke and pepper on the palate which would pair it well with grilled or roasted meat.——S.K.(8/1/2008)—— 85

A single vineyard wine with plenty of oak nuances, this shows darker flavors than other Agiorgitikos: Blueberry mixes with the telltale cherry, while vanilla caresses the whole. Strong tannins envelop a medium-bodied wine with good acidity, while the nose offers supple blackberry and blueberry fruit, vanilla and some meaty notes. ——M.D.(12/15/2006)—— 88
