"Simply a beautiful wine from one of Macedonia’s highest vineyards, blended from old vines of Kratošija (65%) and Vranec. It shows lovely bilberry and bramble fruit, fine acids and a finish like liquid silk.

"The 2015 Barovo comes from a higher elevation parcel and is a blend of 65% Kratosija and 35% Vranec, all of which spent 12 months in French oak. Reminding me of a Petite Sirah from California with its ripe, sexy nose of blue fruits, chocolate, spice, and dried earth aromas and flavors, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, has fine, sweet tannin, no hard edges, and a clean finish. It’s one seriously sexy fruit bomb that stays balanced and even elegant. It’s an impressive wine and worth your time and money."
