Started from cuttings brought in from Santorini, the vines have taken to the place, a windy plateau at nearly 2,000 feet in altitude. This wine captures a sense of the coolness at that height, and the briskness of the wind, in its bright, quenching acidity; it also offers a sense of expansiveness in its breadth and round texture. The wine feels generous but firm, savory with herbal notes that recall the mountain tea that's ubiquitous on the island. In other words, it's a trip to Crete for $20, and available to ayone sheltering in place.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Wine \u0026amp; Spirits (August 2020), 93 pts - BEST BUY\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lyrarakis Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949019459631,"sku":"GC1EE496015ASS","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/lyrarakis_assyrtiko_voila_hq_label_37859412-5a94-4ad4-9b69-9f7de6d39a37.jpg?v=1771487631","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/lyrarakis-assyrtiko-voila-2019","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
