The 2014 Hugonis is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Nero d'Avola from an excellent vintage in Sicily. This is a darkly saturated wine with bold fruit layers and plenty of dark mulberry, blackberry, leather, spice, black olive and moist chewing tobacco. The wine shows ripeness, but there is careful balance here with bright layers of fruity acidity to brighten up the finish. This wine offers the soft and succulent structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas that recall the warm summer breeze in Sicily that picks up aromas of wild fennel and sea salt. Some 8,000 bottles were made.
