"This wine achieved something rare at our panels: a unanimous yes vote from the tasters. Editor Joshua Greene called it vibrant, bright, floral, spicy, while Lisa Granik, MW, appreciated its pure blackberry fruit. For this cuvée, winemaker Stéllios Boutáris focuses on vineyard parcels with lighter soils, to coax out more aromatic complexity. He ferments the juice in large vats of French oak, then ages the wine for 16 months in French and American barriques (80 percent) and 500-liter barrels."
