Sep 20th, 2024Nice ruby red and filled with punchy red and black fruit. Has that smucker’s bit to it, but also some pronounced clay.

Dec 22nd, 2021Funky on the nose but easy to drink. A little acidic but is opening up slowly. Lots of cherry on the palate.

Jul 5th, 2019Pretty, approachable, lightly-extracted. Showing some CO2 and sweet, candy-like cherry and raspberry fruit. Think Starburst or Skittles.

Oct 13th, 2017Clear, deep red purple. Nose of brambly blackberry. Palate of blackberries and creme de cassis. Medium acidity and medium tannins on the dark finish. Easy drinking, food-friendly red that's a good intro to the variety.

2 people found it helpfulOct 10th, 2014The 2021 Nero d'Avola punches well above its price point with a burst of lavender, violet and blackberry on the nose. This is soft textured yet juicy to the core, with depths of sweet cherry offset by vibrant acidity. The 2021 finishes classically dry with a subtle tug of dusty tannins. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2023)
