Armenian wine was included in the best ten wines of the world in the article of one of the authors of Bloomberg Elin McCoy, an expert on wine and spirits.
In her article, McCoy says that this year she was able to try more than 4,000 wines. The author presented the top ten wines, which she was impressed with, and she recommends them to all wine lovers.
One of the wines on the list is “Zorah Karasi Areni Noir” 2010, which costs $45.
“In Izmir, I was amazed with the first Armenian wine I ever tasted – elegant red wine made from the grapes of Areni noir, which is aged in traditional clay amphora,” she noted.
According to the author, the wine has shades of “silk elegance, soft purple grapes and wild lands.”
“I also enjoyed the history of the drink,” McCoy said, recalling that it was in Areni cave that archaeologists discovered a 6100 years old winery.
