Argiolas Costera Cannonau Di Sardegna 2009

By / Wine + Drinks / May 28th, 2013 / 1

The first bottle I sampled was corked. Unfortunately, the smell of wet cardboard does nothing to enhance one’s enjoyment of wine. Second try: there’s a lovely aroma of dark cherries and summer berries with a hint of tar and black pepper here. Dark sour cherry continues through to the palate with the addition of chocolate and a slight nuance of menthol. The finish is slightly tannic. Pair it with any kind of roasted meat. ($17.95)
