Thimiopoulos Xinomavro Uranos 2008
Snoothrank:
100% Xinomauro. Aromas of cherry, blackberry, vanilla and light black olive notes. It's very similar to Nebbiolo. It's cherry dominant, medium bodied with dry, grippy tannins. It's got a dust quality and additional notes of blackberry and vanilla on the finish. Tasty wine!6/2/12 Read More

Excellent wine varietal for those looking for something out of the ordinary. If you're a Malbec fan, Vranec (pronounced vrah nets) is for you. Bovin also offers a great Cabernet as well as a white blend - Symphony. Read More
