Shh! Its a secret wine we sell by the bottle at Jet! Kikones “Ippeas”, from Thracian Greece. I have a love affair with wines from Thrace - Greek, Bulgarian, or otherwise. In part, this is due to Spartacus. Spartacus came from Thrace, possibly of the Maedi tribe. This producer is named after a different tribe, the Kikones.
The wine would make Spartacus proud, though. It is a very handsome blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine has strong tannins beneath the smokey cocoa, clove, toasted nutmeg, plum, and cherry.
