This perennial value favorite scores again in 2001. It’s a young, fruity, sweet wine with just enough snap to ensure balance. Aromas of cured meat, lavender and leather all signal a wine of class, and the peppy palate pours on the red fruit and candied cinnamon. A blend of Negroamaro and Primitivo that’s jammy and easy to quaff.

The sister project to A-Mano is a touch awkward, with loud aromas of red fruit and Kool-Aid. Luckily it finds its stride in the mouth, where you’ll find berry liqueur, chocolate and pepper. Slightly roasted on the finish.

A stunning package sets the bar pretty high for this southern Italian red from winemaker Mark Shannon, who is the hand behind the enormously successful A-Mano wines. Here Primitivo is just 30% of the blend, the rest being Negroamaro. The wine is big, bold, punchy and generous. Fruit cascades through the mouth, thickly layered with clove and nutmeg and bitter chocolate, like spice on a Thanksgiving ham. Distinctive and powerful, bursting with a spicebox-full of exotic nuances, this wine will light your flavor fuse.

The aromas of red cherries and gingersnaps carry a distinctive hint of bitter almonds. Supple and plush in the mouth, the fleshy black cherry flavors fan out smoothly across the palate. A blend of Negroamaro and Primitivo.
