Black Sheep Syrah-Merlo Nicos Lazaridis 75cl 13.5%

Description

Black Sheep Syrah-Merlo Nicos Lazaridis 75cl 13.5% is a modern Greek dry red wine from Nico Lazaridi, produced under the Protected Geographical Indication Pangeon. It is made from 60% Syrah and 40% Merlot, a blend that gives the wine its combination of ripe fruit, gentle spice, and soft, approachable texture.

The producer describes The Black Sheep Red as a wine with vivid ruby colour, intense aromas of mature red fruits and plum, hints of pepper, and a velvety mouth with soft tannins and an aromatic fruity aftertaste. This gives it an easy-drinking but characterful style that suits customers looking for a versatile Mediterranean red with freshness rather than heavy oak dominance. The point about freshness over heavy oak is an inference based on the producer’s tasting note and the stated maturation in stainless tanks with oak chips.

There is one detail worth checking against your current stock label: the current producer page for The Black Sheep Red lists the alcohol at 12.5%, while your site listing shows 13.5%. For the website, I would keep your title exactly as stocked if that matches your bottle, but it is worth confirming against the physical label so the product page stays fully accurate.

Why Choose Black Sheep Syrah-Merlo Nicos Lazaridis

This is a good-value Greek red that combines modern styling, approachable fruit, and soft tannins in a blend that is easy to recommend. It offers ripe red-fruit character, a touch of peppery spice, and enough body for food pairing without becoming too heavy. The point about value positioning is an inference based on the wine style and retail placement.
