Dark ruby in color with a wide purplish rim and medium intensity.
Fruity nose with black currants, plums, cherries, wood, cloves, vanilla, earth, vegetables, graphite, spices, bitter herbs and black pepper.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, light bell pepper, oak, spices, earth, vegetables, wet leaves and peppercorn.
Short finish with fine grained tannins, spices and peppercorn.
This is a simple and unbalanced Cabernet from Sicily. Nothing special, tart and bitter. Even for a $5 happy hour wine it's not good enough for me.
I paired it with light Italian appetizers.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
75 points.
$10.
