This Sardinian red is light in color, with dry, seductive aromas of cherry, clove and mint. Excellent ripeness, meanwhile, is presented in a subdued manner; the palate is pure and sweet at the core yet framed with old-school acidity and tannins. Lean by New World standards, but unique and iconoclastic. Made from Cannonau (Grenache), and definitely worth trying. Imported by Vias Imports. ——M.S.(7/1/2005)—— 90
