Kava is a Greek classification that may be applied to red wines that have aged at least one year in barrel and two additional years prior to release—that’s the derivation of this wine’s name. As you might expect, this is a mature wine, with leather, tobacco and earth nuances wrapped around a core of dried fruit and molasses. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Xinomavro.
