| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Leon Karatsalos and Yiannis Paraskevopoulos (Ph.D.) founded the estate in 1994 especially to focus on the native Greek varieties for making wine. Both are classically trained in oenology. Grape type: Agiorgitiko. Fresh red fruit aromas emerge from this wine, which shows a lovely, intense dark red color. On the palate, soft tannins envelope red fruit flavors, which leave the palate with a bit of black pepper on the back. No oak, so what you see is what you get. Foods: Robustly flavored dishes: peppercorn-crusted creamy liver mousse; meat-filled grape leaves; black olives; pasta with well-seasoned meat sauces; braised meats or legumes in tomato sauce; grilled well-seasoned sausage; moussaka; lamb; duck; game; feta cheese in herbs and olive oil (very good)
