Another excellent vintage of this Sardinian clone of Grenache. Aromas of bright red fruit, dried violets, smoky oak and sweet baking spices. Flavors of juicy red cherry, raspberry and strawberry fruit, cola, tobacco and those baking spices. Long and lingering finish. Crisp, vibrant and refreshing acidity. Full bodied and surprisingly smooth tannins. 14% ABV, but it is difficult to notice. Outstanding value! Thanks for the taste, Kase. — 17 days ago

The hotel restaurant is closed for a huge party. I worked a little magic to order privately some pasta in the other restaurant which is not open. Saluti! “Cent'anni!”

Local Alghero, Sardinia Cabernet.

It is certainly dark currants, dark chocolate, blackberries, black raspberries, the darkest cherries-poached/baked, strawberries the same way, blackberries plum, mocha powder, moist tobacco, soft used leather, crushed rock powder, oak barrel powdery (don’t believe they use a lot of new wood here) dry top soil, dry herbs, dry twig, hint of menthol, dark, rich turned earth, withering dark flowers & red roses round acidity, well balanced, nicely tensioned, elegant and smartly polish finish that land on spice and lasts two-minutes.

Light yellow color. Aromas of green orchard fruit, white flowers and citrus. Flavors of peaches, nectarines, tropical fruit, green apples, lemon curd, raw almonds and a very pleasing saline note. Beautiful note of minerality on the long finish. Medium-minus body (but still a bit of heft) and refreshing acidity. Lovely silky texture for such a crisp wine. Outstanding QPR. Thanks for sharing, Kase! — 17 days ago

I was curious to try this forgotten grape, which was saved by Sella & Mosca, and I’m glad I did! Starting off with the issues, they must have had some stabilization issues because there’s a bit of sediment so the glass has zero bubbles within seconds of being poured. The nose is fruity but with great restraints on ripeness, with white peach, pear, some lemon and plenty of salinity. Good acidity on the palate, the salinity is prominent together with a touch of phenolics which doesn’t detract from the experience. This would be great with some time on the lees, I think that’s what they do for their premium bottle — 4 years ago

Yummy! Super Sardinian :) 50/50 Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cannonau - hmmm it's delicious, garnet color and medium body - pomegranate, plums, raisins and liquor cherries (Grenache higher alcohol) with ripe but medium+ tannins . It fruity, but with acidity "Chuck Norris" kick from Cabernet. — 9 years ago

Italy. Red. Sardegna. Another great red from Sardegna. I’ve decided I like cannonau. This one is more fruity than the Sella & Mosca with black cherry and plum notes. I actually might prefer it but both are great, used this in cooking and enjoying with a hearty tomato-based pasta. My favorite wines thus far have been from the Italian island regions: Sardinia and Sicily. $14. 13% alc by vol. — 6 years ago
