Assyrtiko – 2014; Sigalas Santorini; Santorini, Greece

Behold this great Greek wine!  The deep blond color with a tinge of green is just the beginning of your tantalizing experience. Citrus notes are quite pronounced on the nose. Take your time on the first sip, indulge in kiwi and melon flavors that dazzle your taste buds. The acids are a bit strong, but that just ensures you the experience is real. You will also discern a slight effervescence that just adds to the character and makes this wine more interesting. There is a long refreshing and tingling honey note that lingers and is joined with distinct minerality on the finish.  A great treat for hot summer days and nights. This is refreshing and pairs nicely with fresh salads or dish dishes.
