Winery Review: "This bright, soft Merlot comes from a hilly vineyard on the Alcesti family estate in beautiful Sicily. It has hints of red cherries and freshly cut hay. Exceptional value."
My Review: The Omo Ze Bel was a more subtle Merlot than the ones I've had previously. It had cinnamon, grapes, and red berries on the nose. On the palate again I was getting predominantly red fruits with raspberry, tomato juice, grass, and a bit of salt. The surface texture was of suede with gripping, well-balanced tannins and a short finish. The Merlot would taste great with a salt and pepper chicken or sun-dried tomato pasta.
