Synoro 2018 (Skouras)

Drink it now, or cellar for up to 10 years. It can benefit from decanting. Domaine Skouras is a beautiful winery located in Greece and, more precisely, in the Peloponnese peninsula. George Skouras is the founder and owner, heart and soul of the company. The business began in 1986 with the production of Megas Oenos wine, a great blend of native Agiorgitiko grapes with a lower percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon when this type of blend was rather unusual and innovative. For this reason, Skouras has gained an essential role in the Greek wine scene. Synoro from Domaine Skouras is considered one of the best red wines of George Skouras. Its name, which means border, derives from the position of the three neighboring vineyards. The blend is made up of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot and 20% Agiorgitiko. Each variety is vinified separately in stainless steel tanks, and the final wine ages for 13 months in French oak barrels and another 12 months in the bottle. It is a wine with a great personality and excellent aging potential. The aromatic blend exudes elegance and exuberant notes of violet, lavender, red fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, and tobacco. It has an imposing and robust structure in the mouth but is extraordinarily fresh and with velvety tannins. It will evolve beautifully with some time in the cellar. Try it with lasagna, a juicy burger or roast beef or beef bourguignon.
