Alpha Estate 'SMX' 2017 Review
With a good grip, and some nice dark fruit to fill out your palate, this Greek red blend is well balanced and ready for a roasted rack of lamb with some lemon potatoes, stat. With some nice medium acidity, it will also please multiple palates and would be a nice addition to a dinner party.
