Wine Tasting: Tonnino Syrah

Name: Tonnino Syrah
Variety: 100% Syrah
Region: Sicilia

Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: Regular $14, on sale $7.95

Winery Review: An intense red color. Aromas of violet and blackcurrant enriched by hints of liquorice and black pepper. In the mouth it is full, round, slightly tannic and with a spicy note on the finish.

My Review: An interesting red wine with a moderate sensation of raspberry and even a little blackberry, perhaps some floral smells similar to violets, and a subdued but noticeable spiciness which may pair well with some thicker meats such as steak or pork loin. Unfortunately, I did not have this wine with food.
