Fazio 2005 Shiraz (Sicilia)
- $21
Fazio delivers a meaty, slightly sweet-tasting Syrah that is redolent of Asian spice, beef jerky and hickory smoke. The flavors are smooth and well-integrated and the wine ends on a soft, cushiony note.

Fazio 2004 Torre dei Venti Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
- $19
Vinous, fresh and young in the mouth with nutty notes, almond skin, some chocolate fudge and lavender soap. With young tannins and a spicy finish, it’s not clear where the wine will go from here. Imported by Vinarium Inc.

- $21
Fazio makes the best of hot climate growing conditions and presents a well-composed Nero d’Avola that is enhanced by aromas of red apple, cassis, pomegranate and black cherry. There’s good intensity here and some sweetness, although the mouthfeel is in no way heavy or thick.
