2001 Fourplay, Dievole (Sicily)

[hotwine]

A blend of equal parts Frappato Nero, Nerello Cappuccio, Nerello Mascalese and Nero d'Avola. First release. Very dark in the glass, almost opaque, with a nose of black licorice and red currants. All red fruit on the palate, looking for the Nero d'Avola but it's hidden; finish of crushed red fruit, difficult to characterize. 13% alc/vol and $10. With an omelet of eggs, sauteed spinach, crushed garlic, chopped onion, tomatoes and shredded cheddar. I wasn't wild about it, but she liked it.

my resturant carried this as a feature for a week or so about a year ago. I don't remember specific tasting notes, but I do remember liking it. It sold very well.
