TASTING NOTE: The popular Cretan blend of Syrah and the indigenous Kotsifali makes expressive, soft wines with layered red fruit, earth and spice notes. You can expect an easy-drinking wine with excellent balance and zest. This is a lithe style of red that will pair with grilled lamb or barbecued ribs. |
