  Wines of Sicily (Jeff K.'s): This was my WOTN and the groups #2. this is a Cabernet Sauvignon. Purple ruby in color. There seemed to be some trapped CO2 that blew off in the glass. The nose has cassis and black cherries. On the palate, this has some sweet black cherry fruit. It is delicious but not a ton of complexity (at least at this point). Wide with good acidity as well. I would like to revisit as I wonder if this was just bigger and a bit sweeter in the crowd or really as good as I thought on its own. In any event, it did not seem international in style but a unique take.

  Smooth and polished, outperforming its price point - cherry and dusty tannins - echo of sangiovese.
