Tasting - Tonnino Syrah



Name:  Tonnino
Variety:  Syrah
Region:  Sicily
Country:  Italy  
Year:  2013
Price:  $8
Winery review:  An intense red color.  Aromas of violet and blackcurrent enriched with hints of liquorice and black pepper.  In the mouth it is full, rounded, slightly tannic and with a spicy note on the finish.
Additional winemaker notes: I strongly disliked this wine.  It was way too dry and tannic for my tastes.  I picked up the  floral aspect (my nose isn't refined enough yet to determine that it was violet), and berries.  I did not try this wine with food.  It might be more enjoyable had I tried it with food.
