Name: Resonata Nero D'Avola
Variety: Blend
Region: Siciliy
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $6.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.
My Review: This smelled almost exactly like a Sharpie marker, except with perhaps a slightly sweeter finish. It had very strong licorice taste on the first and some of the mid palate, with a underwhelming tobacco finish. I would not buy this.
