Savatiano is often used in retsina, a traditional Greek wine made with pine resin, but can also make fine table wine, such as this. A pithy, peachy nose leads to a dry, oily, medium-bodied wine with good acidity and flavors of peach, mineral and flowers. ——M.D.(12/15/2006)—— 86

Savatiano is one of the most cultivated white grape varieties of Greece, often serving as the base for retsina. But this effort shows how good it can be, melding slightly nutty scents with peachy, melony fruit. It’s plump and medium weight, finishing fresh and clean with a squirt of grapefruit. ——J.C.(9/2/2004)—— 88
