Lazaridis Lazaridis amethystos red 2019

Lazaridis Lazaridis Amethystos brings us this dry red wine from Greece, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Limnio from the 2019 vintage. About the grape — Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most planted red grapes, prized for its deep color, firm tannins and dark-fruit flavors of blackcurrant and plum, often with notes of cedar and tobacco. There's Merlot in the blend too: a widely grown red grape valued for its soft, supple texture and approachable plum and black-cherry fruit, making it one of the most easy-drinking reds. 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. This is your steak-night, lamb-roast, hearty-stew kind of red. Pop it open at cool room temperature — a brief chill on a hot day doesn't hurt.
