Zesty? Yes. Rich? Yes. You’ll need to take several sips to get a handle on this wine. Santorini takes its name from the hilly Greek isle sitting on the rim of an ancient volcano. Lemon and pine scents are followed by full fruit flavors and a crisp finish. A unique and tasty alternative to Chardonnay.
