Kir-Yianni, Naoussa (Macedonia, Greece) 2012

Oct 22, 2016

By Marguerite Thomas

While it still tastes very youthful, this wine delivers considerable complexity and offers great drinking pleasure.  It is medium bodied and nicely balanced by both a refreshing thread of acidity and a slick of soft tannins that dissolve across the tongue on the finish.  Because it is so beautifully structured it is a wine to enjoy with a diversity of foods, from lamb shanks to eggplant parm; from pulled pork to baked ziti; from roast chicken to cheese ravioli.
