Tasting notes:
wild berries, black licorice, and chocolate on the nose
full-bodied
smooth finish of dark berries, cocoa, vanilla, and oak
A number of wines from Sicily are decidedly modern, including this one. This is a full-bodied red blend of Nero D'Avola, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot with plenty of oak treatment.
If you're looking for a rustic Nero D'Avola, don't open this wine. However, if you're looking for big fruit and plush texture, this wine is well made and decently priced at $17 or so. Raise a glass!
We enjoyed this lush surprise at Incanto in SF the other night.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly complex for a Sicilian product - in my view. A refreshing change from the monochromatic take so many vinters showcase here in the US.
We are clamoring to buy more!
