An obvious hit of cassis right off the top, a bit earthy afterwards, sharp acidity and medium to light body. I was hoping for something a bit more Georgian to go with Beef Satay with Peanut Sauce (Kebabs) and Indonesian Rice Salad (Moosewood Favourites).

Lovely wine. It brings to mind boisterous cherries, red berries, and hibiscus spiced with white pepper and smoky black cardamom. There are also undertones of black tea and game. Overall balance is excellent; not too tart or light, not too ripe or heavy. Delicious and easy to drink, yet plenty to think about.
This is not a wine I expected to rate 92, but every sniff and sip kept delighting me. Sicily is a surprisingly rewarding wine region, and this is one of the better Sicilian wines I've tasted.

Good acid. Lots of strawberry on the finish.

Light. Strawberry. Tastes deeper than smells, but still light. Good session wine.

Light and tart with strawberry and forest. There's some slightly rustic notes leading to a bitter finish. Comes together nicely. 89-90.
