One of my wow wines on my last trip to Greece. I had the fortune to visit Sclavos on the island of Kefalonia. There are a ton of emerging reds coming from this beautiful island in the Ionian Sea, on the western side of Greece. It is more pine forested and the soils are limestone based. The Thiniatiko is a blend from a tiny parcel next to the owner's house. Robust and full-bodied, this is a meaty red that has depth and loads of flavor. When I tasted it, I asked, “How would this age? “They were kind enough to bring out every vintage they had made–about six of them and we tried them all. This is like the king Brunello of the island. Compelling and complex and I can’t wait to see how this newest vintage develops.
