Stina Cuvée Red 2015
Croatian Coast, Coastal Croatia, CroatiaFrom the Dalmatian coast, this is a blend of local grape plavac mali, along with syrah, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The addition of international grapes is the winery's attempt to reach a broader audience, though I, amongst many I'm sure, would be keener to try plavac mali, a cross between crljenak kaštelanski (ancestral zinfandel) and dobričić, solo. Oh well, perhaps another day. This is dusty plum, cassis and branch, dark mulberry and dried cherry. Tannins are rustic, though the palate remains supple and friendly at 13 percent. Stina Winery opened on Broc Island in 2009 when Jako Vino rented a building from the Agricultural Cooperative of Bol. Wine had been made in the building, “The first Dalmatian Wine Cooperative” since 1901.Tasted: 27 December 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
