Natalie's Score: 89/100

Gorgeous blackberry and juniper aromas with an attractive tarry core. Fleshy ripe blackberries tumble over one another across your mouth. This is a steal at this price ... someone in accounting has obviously made a mistake so buy it while you can.

Nero d'Avola food pairings: grilled meats, tomato-based pasta, hard cheeses.

Reviews and Ratings

Travis Oke rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I don't know if a wine under $10 ever deserves a rating of 90 but there you have it. It is so good that I created a whole new category of red wines because of it. I call it the "I can't stop drinking this wine" red.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of cherry, blackberry jam and juniper berries.Ripe berry and cherry flavours with a hint of spice.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
