87 pts Wine Advocate: "The 2007 Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva is a pleasurable, up-front wine with good balance and character. Dried cherries, wild herbs and worn-in leather are some of the notes that flow from this forward Cannonau. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014."- #195, June, 2011.

Truly something special! This dry, red is quite smooth and well balanced, with lovely complexity and old world style at an incredibly affordable price.Cannonau is Grenache but it has been on this island for close to 1000 years. It was originally thought that the Spanish brought this grape to this island however the Spanish did not arrive until about 400 years ago or so. Now enology students in Italy travel to Sardinia to study this intriguing grape to find out more about its high antioxidant and polyphenol levels as well as the dna and history of the grape.
