2023 Kottabos Grenache Syrah
Aromas of cherry, redcurrant and herbs emerge from the glass. On the palate, the wine is lean and playful, with fine tannins, moderate acidity and a fresh finish.

Drinking games were probably invented thousands of years ago, shortly after the discovery of alcohol. One of the best-known historical drinking games is Kottabos, in which the last sip of wine from the drinking bowl was thrown in a high arc at a target. Today, people are more likely to play beer pong or Looping Louie when binge drinking - but if you want to drink a playful wine in style, you should stick to Kottabos.
Neal Martin wrote the following about the Kottabos for Vinous: "The 2023 Grenache-Syrah Kottabos is a blend of 74% and 26% respectively, with the Grenache whole-bunch-pressed and aged in concrete and the Syrah done in older French oak barrels. This has an exquisite, rose-petal-infused bouquet with Morello cherry and raspberry, very well defined and transparent."
