Estate Constantin Gofas 2006 Mythic River Agiorgitiko (Nemea)
-
$13
Aged four months in oak, this supple red offers notes of plum, cherry, forest fruit and a touch of smoke on the nose, and on the palate, a medium-bodied array of spicy and rich berry flavors. Balanced acidity and a lingering finish give the wine extra elegance. A good food wine; pair with grilled lamb, steak.

Estate Constantin Gofas 2008 Agiorgitiko (Nemea)
-
$18
This wine has the plucky character typical of Greece, but with a polished spin. The nose is allspice, cherry and cocoa, and on the palate, dried fruits, coffee, mesquite smoke and chocolate. The wine finishes spicy and clean. Good, if not a bit aggressive. Pair with meat or hearty fare.

Estate Constantin Gofas 2006 Mythic River Agiorgitiko-Syrah Red (Peloponnese)
-
$16
A sweetish nose of cherry, plum and berry tinged with spice leads on this pleasant wine from Mythic River, a Syrah and Agiorgitiko blend. On the palate, it’s dry and assertive, displaying flavors of plum, forest fruit and pepper. Simply good and a natural with grilled, spicy meats.
