Santolin Wines Cosa Nostra Il Capo 2018

Come for a swim in an ocean of black fruit delish. Slot this into the 'comfort wine' category (if there was ever such a thing).

Cosa Nostra translates to our thing, and like Red Foo, this 'could be my new thing'. Such a slurpable number, I'd be happy not to share it with anyone. Maybe I didn't?

A blend of Nero d'Avola and Negroamaro (82/18) which was sourced from Heathcote and Mildura respectively, I can't recall ever seeing a wine with these two varieties brought together. 

There's a buoyancy about the way the fruit glides through the mouth. It floats like a pontoon of sorts. Dangerously smooth, a blackberry jam sweetness teases before voluptuous black fruits and mulberries glow. Sauteed mushrooms and some earthiness add savoury interest as scents of violets and blue flowers defuse a pretty perfume. There's a real gravitating delish factor that I keep coming back to before fine ribbons of fine spice bound along and cruise through to a long and decadent finish. Only 25 bucks - pleasure doesn't have to cost a bomb. Go here.

Drink to five years.
