Vukusic Jezero (2022) – Vukusic shows the deeper, more soulful side of Croatian wine with Jezero, a red that feels rooted in place rather than polished into sameness. The 2022 vintage brings dark fruit, dried herbs, savory spice, and an earthy backbone that gives it shape and interest. There is ripeness here, but also enough structure to keep it from reading soft or simple. This is a strong bottle for adventurous customers, Balkan wine explorers, or anyone looking for a distinctive red with character, food-friendliness, and real conversation value.
