Cusumano Nero d'Avola-Syrah Sicilia Benuara 2006

Wine Advocate # 175, February 2008
Rating: 89 points
"The 2006 Benuara (70% Nero d’Avola and 30% Syrah) presents a darker profile as well as greater body. Pretty notes of licorice and tar develop in the glass. I would choose to drink this on the early side. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. Brothers Alberto and Diego Cusumano make a variety of wines from their holdings across the island. As good as the reds are, it would be nice to see Cusumano do more with their whites."

Wine Spectator, December 2007
Score: 87 points
"Bright and fruity, with lots of currant and blackberry on the nose. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a clean, fruity aftertaste."
