Epicuro Nero D'Avola 2020

 


Lighter garnet hue with aromas of cinnamon laced cranberry juice, Halls mentholyptus cough drops, red berry cream candies.

Palate--Steely front, with relaxed tannins, summery red-berry fruit, a minerally finish.

I have had this wine many times over the years. Nero D'Avola is the signature grape of Sicily and they do it right.  and it tends to be a good value running about $8 a bottle. The structure of this one seems a bit awkward, and my least favorite of all the vintages I have had of this wine. 

It could be a one off which happens (called bottle variation) So I would still give it a shot. At this price point it's worth a try.
