Avantis Falcon hill red 2019

From Avantis Falcon Hill in Greece, this dry red wine blends Mavrokountoura and Syrah from the 2019 vintage. Mavrokountoura is a rare Greek red grape giving deeply colored, savory wines. Syrah comes along for the ride as well — a bold red grape producing dark, full-bodied wines with blackberry, black-pepper and smoky, savory notes; it is known as Shiraz in Australia. Greece has been making wine for thousands of years, and its sun-drenched hills and breezy islands grow native grapes you simply won't find anywhere else. Easygoing at the table: try it with roast meats, pasta, pizza night or a charcuterie board. Serve it at cool room temperature.
