Tasting - Resonata Nero D'Avola

Name: Resonata Nero D'Avola
Variety: Nero D'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95

Critic Review: Dense ruby red with violet reflections.
Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background.

My Review: This was my least favorite wine of the Thursday night tasting.  Both the nose and taste of the wine was very cedar-like.  The smokiness of the wine was also very unappetizing to me.  While I picked up on the spice int he wine, I did not sense a balance with heavy berry flavor as indicated in the review.

I did not taste this wine with food
