Tasting- Tonnino Syrah

Name: Tonnino Syrah
Variety: Syrah
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $14 Sale: $7.95
Expert 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: This wine was a beautiful ruby red in color. The aroma was strong with currant, raspberry and even a bit of vanilla mixed in. The taste was much different which was surprising. The flavor was vegetable in nature with broccoli having the strongest presence. There was some heat with this semidry wine. In the after taste, mild pepper was more noticeable

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
