2012 Kir-Yianni "Yianakohori Hills" Red Blend Macedonia bright redTheres a rich, plummy character, with a tart edge, on the nose here which is nicely accented by some subdued spice. Something like an alternate world claret in body, theres boysenberry, bay leaf, and asphalt flavors in this blend, along with bright acidity, and lively tannic structure(hello, Xinomavro!), marking this one as best suited to the dinner table. If its rich, savory, and or meaty, this one will get along with it swimmingly.
