Georgia (the Other One)

We had a potluck at the office this week, and one highlight was some wine from Georgia, brought as a gift recently by some editors from Tbilisi.
This was a Saperavi red dry wine produced and bottled in the Kakheti region of Georgia. (I found this adorable slide show about the area on YouTube. Apparently, Georgia has been making wine for centuries.) The Saperavi grape is used throughout the country, according to Wikipedia, and Saperavi means "paint" or "dye" owing to its dark color.
So the wine was nearly opaque, with an aroma of raisins, no vintage listed but obviously young. I found it well-balanced (12 percent alcohol), and pleasant but not a show-stopper. It was, however, not universally liked. Scott adulterated his with crushed fresh rasbperries and said, "The more you drink the better it gets."
I love reading labels, but I think something was lost in translation: It described the wine as having 'a sorted aroma and a pleasant acerbity.'
But this was my first experience with Georgian wine, and I definitely look forward to more.
