Shannon Family of Wines, High Valley (Lake County, California) Nero d’Avola 2019

Jan 23, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 Bursting with red fruit aromas, the 2019 OVIS Nero d’Avola from Shannon Family of Wines is vibrant and lively on the nose with hints of fresh black cherry skin, plum, and cacao in the glass.  Medium-bodied, impressive, and complex, the wine unfolds, exposing layered flavors of spiced cherry, fresh plum, black tea, rhubarb, and juicy currant as lifting tannins and succulent acidity delight the palate.  The wine ends with lush, berry expressions, subtly spiced oak tones, and vibrancy on the finish.
