Limnio

If you love Syrah for its savory, herb-and-pepper side more than its muscle, Limnio is the older, quieter answer — a Greek red the ancients were drinking while Rhône Syrah was still centuries off.

Tasting profile
Sour cherry and red berry brushed with bay leaf and thyme, medium-bodied and silky rather than heavy, with a savory finish that lingers longer than the fruit.
