Puglia Susumaniello

This is a steal for $10. Is it complex? Not really but it tastes and drinks great! Smooth tannins and nice acidity that are well complimented by great flavors of baking spices, black fruit, plums, and vanilla. Nice finish too. I dont think i could drink it every day but it’s accessible and tasty.

This wine is as dark as ink in the glass. It smells dark, too, with notes of black cherry, blackberry, clove, cinnamon, forest floor and hints of vanilla and cedar. The palate is bold and fruity, with cherry flavors hitting the tongue first. The sweet oak spice is enjoyable, not overdone. Tannins are firm and the wine has a good tannic grip. The overall feeling of sweetness is beautiful, but don’t expect a dessert wine. This is a truly enjoyable red wine at a truly affordable price.

Great with spicy food as the sweetness pairs nicely. (Having this right now with hot chicken). Vanilla and cherry a hint of smoke and everything nice.

Outstanding, if blind would swear it was a top Amarone

One of my favorites reds ever! Soooooo so smooth

Complex and heavy, this wine features as a Napa - like fruit bomb coupled with a more mature aroma: ripe fruit and spice, fresh cut flowers on the midpalate; a bit of smoke on the nose. Tannins feel like a dusting of cinnamon.

Trader Joe's, $10

Very rich, dark, and fruity, reminds me of port or raw grape juice. It's almost sweet but with a dry bitter after taste that I like. Feels harsh in the mouth, but very smooth when swallowing

Big red wine. This definitely needs to be aerated or decanted. Ripe and round with juicy blackberries, black cherries, and black plums on the palate. Notes of chocolate.

Delicious, easy drinking red

Wow, I'm a fan. Greeted instantly by a dark ruby shade with dark fruit notes. Tasted blackberry, cherry, and a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied, mediums tannins. Paired very well with lamb chops. Bought from Trader Joe's for an excellent price!
