Lot 312 Nero d'Avola is the baby brother to Lot 315 Nero d'Avola and the wine to buy and drink while you wait for that wine to age in the cellar. From the same producer, this is a perennially 90 point scoring Nero D’Avola from the folks who pioneered varietal bottling of Nero many decades ago. Meticulously farmed and raised in the best French oak (a combination of regular format and larger barriques) this fantastic offering combines Italian linearity and Sicilian warmth to produce a wine with tremendous appeal. If you are a fan of the bigger mountain fruit styles of Napa Cabernet, I believe you will gravitate towards this wine.

Great table wine for the price. Dry and pairs well with pasta!

I was a bit disappointed in this wine. Admittedly though, she is worth what I paid for it.

Never heard of it so I wanted to try something different. When Cameron put it on sale I bought two cases. Glad I did. Nice deep, full red that is great with grilled steak etc.. It has been a sell out for Cameron, that should tell you something.
Doug
very impressed with drinkabillity now and full flavor but not too grapey
Angelo
A nice smooth dark fruit and smokey taste with a nice long finish., and at a great value.

I liked this wine and bought it twice. Unhappily the first bottle of my second order was corked. So I simmered it down and made a terrific BBQ sauce from it!
The wine is a dark fruit, smoky and just right with Italian food.

One of the best reds I've bought from CH. A real value.
Lyonlove
I really liked this wine - full body with a lot of creamy notes without being too heavy. The aromatics are great. There is a bit of tannin so it feels young. Great dinner wine.
Katie from Redwood City
Mmmm, smells like smoke, spice, and black cherry. Tasted cherry and raspberry flavors. Finish lingers, but not too long.

Very disappointed! Harsh & acidic going in and going down, with little or no fragrance, and undecernable fruit. Unappealing Pale pinkish red color!. Could not finish even one bottle. Other 5 are undrinkable. Will have to dump them. Not servable to family or quests. What a waste!
