Boutari Wines

Sort By:

Boutari 2008 Assyrtico (Santorini)

Price $20

A zippy nose of apple and citrus and a spin of pepper start this fresh but elegant white from Santorini. On the palate, refreshing but subtle apple and citrus flavors are carried on a spicy backbone, but there’s creaminess to the mouthfeel, too. A unique and versatile food wine. — S.K. (8/1/2009)

Boutari 2009 Assyrtico (Santorini)

Price $20

Still one of the standards for a clean, crisp Assytriko. The Boutari offers citrus and minerals in the nose, and a clean, zippy snap of fresh fruit and sea salt on the palate. Light, elegant and delightful, and fantastic with fresh fish, fruit and salads. — S.K. (3/1/2011)

Boutari 2008 Filiria Red (Goumenissa)

Price $35

Black cherry, violet and pepper on the nose lead into a spirited red blend of spicy pepper, leather and red fruit. Ageable and elegant, this wine balances indigenous character with accessible style. — S.K. (9/1/2011)

Boutari 2002 Skalani Red (Crete)

Price $25

Aged in new oak, this impressively concentrated, dark wine has soaked up much of the oak flavor, showing only traces of vanilla and coffee. The fruit is what shows on the surface, powerful plum and licorice flavors. this blend of 70% Kotsifali and 30% Mandilari is approachable now. — J.C. (9/2/2004)

Boutari 2007 Skalani Syrah-Kotsifali Red (Greece)

Price $43

A lush nose of mocha, cinnamon, pepper and clove starts this smooth wine with style. Flavors of cedar, spice and rich fruit are complex and delivered in a mouthfilling, structured wave. A spicy finish adds to the appeal. Ageable but good to drink now; pair with cheese and smoked meats. A blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Kotsifali. — S.K. (8/1/2009)

Boutari 2004 Xinomavro (Naoussa)

Price $15

One of Greece’s biggest wine exporters, Boutari has the formula for smooth, accessible wines. A soft red color leads to a big but polished Xinomavro with chocolaty flavors of mixed berry, spice and a spritz of lemon. A great match for roast rack of lamb. — M.D. (12/15/2006)

Boutari 2010 Assyrtico (Santorini)

Price $20

This modern white starts with aromas of peach, lemon zest and tropical fruit, with a rich and rounded fruit palate. Crisp acidity finishes the wine cleanly. A versatile wine with wide appeal. — S.K. (9/1/2011)

Boutari 2000 Ode Cabernet Sauvignon-Agiorgitiko Red (Corinth)

Price $25

This wine ably marries the sturdy dark cassis fruit of its 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with brighter, cherry notes from its 50% Agiorgitiko. It’s all supported by a framework of toast and vanilla from a year in oak barrels. — J.C. (9/2/2004)
