An under the radar bottle: Karas, Reserve Areni–Sireni 2022

If you are looking for something new to wow your guests, this bottle from Karas is an excellent choice. This distinctive Karas Reserve Areni Sireni from Armenia is a blend of 40% Areni and 60% Sireni and brings the rich essence of the Ararat Valley to life. On the nose, vibrant notes of cherries, prunes, and violet petals intertwine with a subtle earthiness and mineral undertones. The palate is fresh and medium-bodied, showcasing a harmonious mix of red berries, a touch of pomegranate, and hints of forest herbs and spices. This wine’s round tannins and balanced acidity lead to a persistent, fruity finish. Crafted in Armenia’s traditional clay karas and aged in Armenian oak, this wine is a perfect Thanksgiving companion. ($20).
