Variety: Nero D'Avola
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Shop Critic: Very dark purple, with a reddish-violet edge, typical of this grape. black plums, a hint of licorice and subtle spice, not overly complex but appealing. A big mouth full of juicy black fruit is well structured by tart acidity and soft but distinct tannins.
My Review: Deep, dark purple red in color. This wine had a smokey smell of tobacco with hints of honeysuckle and berries. The taste was sweet and smooth with low tannin content. Very little mid palate, the flavor dissipates quickly. Not a whole lot of flavor which was disappointing considering the complex nose. Extremely blah. I would not get this wine again.
I tried this wine on its own with no food pairings.
