NOTO NERO D’AVOLA 2012 92 WE Mar16 EC

EDITOR’S CHOICE: Intense, alluring aromas of exotic spice and ripe red fruit take center stage in this fragrant, polished red. The elegantly structured palate offers juicy cherry, crushed raspberry, cinnamon and white pepper, framed by silky tannins that give it a smooth mouthfeel. A carob note marks the finish.  – KO
