Product Overview
Importer Notes“... Areni is a thick-skinned variety that grows in tight bunches. Aimee and winemaker Arman Manoukian use neutral oak to concentrate Areni’s brambly fruit aromas and herbal undernotes. More dark-fruited than the Classic, the Areni Reserve has the structure of a Burgenland Blaufrankisch or Côte-Rôtie Syrah. The Keushguerian family suggests buying a case – drinking half the bottles young with Khorovats (grilled Armenian kebabs) and aging the other six bottles for a decade.“
