An intense blend of Nero d’Avola, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that beautifully underlines the producer’s individualistic winemaking philosophy. There are earthy, iron-like tones with blackberry, spice and cracked white pepper. The Cabernet portion renders a tight, tannic backbone. Imported by Banville & Jones Wine Merchants. ——M.L.(7/1/2006)—— 90
