Domaine Mercouri 1999 Refosco Red (Ilias)

$15
Very earthy, with barnyard and bacon aromas. Fresh bright berries and cocoa on the palate. A note of toast throughout. Soft, yet structured, the tannins are velvety. Seductive and rounded.

Mercouri Estate 2006 Red (Ilias)

$24
Complex, exotic and ageable, this red from the Peloponnese starts with aromas of black fruit, pepper, smoked meat and herbs, followed by rich flavors of blackberry, cinnamon, pepper and crushed herb. Round, flavorful but spicy, the wine has an elegant overall character. An exemplary red from Greece.
