Description
Founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris, one of the foremost names in modern Greek winemaking, Kir-Yianni is now run by Stellios Boutaris, Yiannis's son. Under his stewardship, the winery has flourished by holding true to the same fundamental principles of quality and exacting selection his father demanded. Kir-Yianni's focus on indigenous grapes and modern winemaking coupled with a willingness to experiment and explore, as seen in this blend of Xinomavro and Merlot, has made Kir-Yianni a force to be reckoned with, not only within Greece but also internationally.
Tasting Notes
The 2012 Yianakohori Hills is a blend of Xinomavro (50%), Merlot (30%) and Syrah (20%) aged for 14 months in well used, French 225-liter and 500-liter barrels. Lovely this year, this is fresh and flavorful up front, with power on the finish. Bright and chock full of flavor, this is superb, showing reasonable concentration and the structure to support the fine fruit. It is immensely appealing at the moment. It will be approachable young, but it will be better next year and it should drink well for the better part of a decade thereafter, or more ... Drink: 2015 - 2024. Score - 90.
