Producer notes: "Grape Variety : Black of Kalavryta. Vivid ruby color, cherry, stawberry and leather flavors. Gentle with integrated tannins and attractive finish. A perfect accompaniment to baked fish with red sauce, pastas, light meats. Age up to five years."

WHWC staff notes: "Their economy may be in the dumps, but their wine production is experiencing an absolute renaissance. In fact, we're living through the golden revival of Greek wine production (seriously!). Over the last few years, we've embarked on a mission to beef up our Greek wine department and we're coming across wines that not only surprise for being Greek, but are every bit as good and distinctive as any wines from around Europe. And for the most part, they're cheap. This odd little grape hails from the northwestern Peloponnese where it is known locally as Mavro Kalavrytino. This is the type of red wine that improves with just a mild chill and is a perfect accompaniment to baked fish with red sauce, pastas, and light meats. It drinks like a hypothetical cross between a Loire Cabernet Franc and a Nebbiolo-based Langhe Rosso. It's a perfect mid-week or Sunday red. And every bottle purchased is like a stimulus package for the Greek economy. Let's do our part to help our favorite vacation destination!" - Kaj Stromer
