Gàbal Nero d'Avola
Sicily, Italy
Very nice once it has had a chance to breath a bit. Nice fruit without being “fruity”

McCarthy & Schiering, $15
Dark ruby, fairly opaque. Nose is a total fruit bomb with a bit of astringency. My mom used to have a black plum tree in the front yard where the plums would have super sweet dark plum flesh with a very sour thick skin. If you add a touch of cherry that's exactly what this wine tastes like. Somehow both sweet and very tart, full flavor and pretty high tannins, also has a noticeable alcohol bite. Still very nice, if maybe a bit one dimensional. I'm going to have to check out more Nero D'avola

Super silky. A surprisingly smooth Nero.

Vanilla and cherry on the nose, subtle tannins but nice dry finish. Easy drinking Italian red for any occasion but nothing noteworthy
