A well-executed Syrah with a small component of Nero d’Avola that exhibits deep ruby youthfulness with notes of cherry, prune, resin, chocolate fudge and loads of blueberry and blackberry. Its mouthfeel is thick and luscious with dusty tannins, but at the end of the day this is a young, easy wine. Imported by Banville & Jones Wine Merchants. ——M.L.(7/1/2006)—— 88
