| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Medium-bodied dry red wine; bright medium-deep garnet. Aromas of spice, dried dark fruits, hint of licorice, On the palate, silky tannins and moderate acidity embellish fresh red fruits. Finish, while not especially long, is full of fruit and spice. Grape type: Cannonau, a/k/a Grenache. Sardinia, or Sardegna in Italian, is an island off the coast of Italy in the Mediterranean. Human habitation on the island goes back thousands of years, and recently discovered desiccated grapes were DNA tested and date to 1200 BC, leading some to wonder if Cannonau, or Grenache, could be the mother of all European wine grapes. This is one of Sardinia's oldest wineries.
