Kayra 2008 Vintage Single Vineyard Collectible Series #5 Öküzgözü (Elazig)

Cellar Selection

Price $20

Clean and bright on the nose, with loads of black plums and blueberries. This wine, made from Öküzgözü grapes, is an interesting glimpse into Turkish winemaking. Dry and medium bodied, with a firm tannic structure and brisk acidity, it finishes with a hint of milk chocolate flavor. Could benefit from decanting, but would be an interesting to age as well. — A.I. (5/1/2012)

Exotic spice and savory meat tones add dimension to sultry black-fruit and fig flavors. Dry and full bodied in style, it’s richly textured with a bold yet velvety tannin structure. — A.I. (12/1/2012)

Kayra 2006 Imperial Red (Elazig)

Price $25

Rustic on the nose, with scents of dried herbs and grass that mingle with pretty rose and tea-leaf notes, this wine is an unusual blend of Turkish Öküzgözü and Boazkere grapes with Syrah and Petit Verdot. Full bodied and soft on the palate, with ripe, red-fruit and mocha-chocolate flavor, it finishes with a coating of furry tannins. — A.I. (5/1/2012)
