Tasting Notes
Zorah Karasi is a benchmark expression of Armenia's ancient Areni Noir grape, grown at high altitude in the volcanic soils of the Vayots Dzor region. On the nose, it opens with an intriguing bouquet of dried pomegranate, wild sour cherry, and crushed rose petals, layered with subtle hints of dried herbs and iron-rich minerality that speak to the grape's indigenous character. The palate is elegant yet structured, delivering bright red fruit — tart cranberry and red plum — alongside earthy undertones of forest floor, dried thyme, and a whisper of cedar from careful oak aging. The wine carries a silky, medium-weight texture with lively acidity and fine-grained tannins that feel both ancient and refined. The finish is long and contemplative, leaving traces of pomegranate skin, volcanic mineral dust, and a faint floral echo that lingers beautifully.
