Staff Pick Notes

A benchmark wine from Armenia's benchmark red grape, Areni, this is medium bodied with loads of structure, plenty of acidity, and a backbone of dark fruits. This is a throwback to the way wines used to be made, aged in Karasi (clay vessels similar to Georgian Qvevri) and with native grape varieties, before the Soviet regime ruined the lot with bulk wine production and vineyards geared toward brandy production. Thankfully, Armenia (and its neighbors) are forging a new wine future by looking to their traditional past. This is a taste of that future.
