"Maharis" is a Sicilian red wine based on Syrah grapes which is characterized by a Mediterranean, silky and enveloping sip. The nose is a riot of red fruit, accompanied by fine hints of sweet spices, hints of leather, Mediterranean scrub and mineral imprints. On the palate is warm, velvety and soft, with a sweet tannic texture and a persistent finish.

This offers aromas suggesting red berry, coconut, underbrush and menthol. On the focused, rather austere palate, tightly wound, close-grained tannins accompany cranberry, pomegranate and roasted coffee bean before a lean, assertive finish. Give the tannins a few more years to unfurl, then drink to capture the remaining fruit.
