"A plummy, medium-bodied red, balanced and fresh, with notes of raspberry and candied black cherry, dried dill and orange peel. Reveals light, supple tannins on the spiced finish. Drink now. 6,720 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.—Alison Napjus"

"Light ruby colour, classic, unforced Xinomavro, and not only in the colour. The aroma is vibrant with sweet and sour cherry, with a hint of tomato leaf. Definitely red-fruited with light note of herbs, too. In the mouth this is lovely: juicy but sufficiently tannic to show the character of the variety and match with food, beautifully fresh and scented. Finely tannic. Excellent, approachable, pure – but not oversimplified – Xinomavro. And a wine that will age well. (JH)"

"The 2021 Amyndeon Xinomavro Hedgehog Single Vineyard is a lean-bodied red with a light ruby color. The bouquet shows ripe fruit tones with dried raspberry and wild strawberry. This is an easy-drinking wine with moderate complexity, but that also gives pretty freshness to close. I'd suggest a pairing with spicy meatballs or fried eggplant."
