Manolesaki Estate 2001 Merlot (Drama)
- $23
Firm yet fleshy, this Merlot boasts chunky black-cherry fruit swaddled in layers of toast and dark chocolate. It’s medium-weight, graceful enough to drink with food, but it’s still chewy enough to drink on its own.

Manolesaki Estate 2002 Sauvignon Blanc-Roditis White (Drama)
- $18
This 60-40 blend combines ripe stone-fruit elements of nectarine and peach with firm mineral notes and a hint of anise on the lingering finish. Slightly herbal, but speaks more of ripe fruit, making for a pleasant, medium-weight sipper.

Manolesaki Estate 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Drama)
- $23
Strawberry isn’t a typical Cabernet descriptor, but it applies to this wine, which also boasts more classic notes of dried herbs, leather and cedar. Supple tannins make this Cab instantly approachable.

Manolesaki Estate 2001 Red (Drama)
- $22
A bit rustic and tannic, but also shows some solid, ripe berry and cherry fruit. Hay, horse and spice notes add nuance without burying the fruit. Lighter-bodied, with crisp acids.

Manolesaki Estate 2002 Sauvignon Blanc-Chardonnay White (Drama)
- $22
This interesting blend boasts aromas of preserved lemons and fresh herbs, then turns a bit plumper in the mouth, with nectarine flavors joining in. Tart and high-acid on the finish, making it a natural with oily seafood dishes like fresh sardines.
