* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Kind of big up front, with creamy oak aromas along with smoky notes of molasses and barbecue. Thick and fruity on the palate, with milk chocolate draping raspberry and cherry fruit. Staunch tannins on the finish are softened by sweet fudge flavors. And through it all you get a little tomato.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Organically farmed Cannonau grapes deliver small berry aromas and a focused, tight nose in Le Sabbie. The wine’s appearance is light ruby-red and the wine keeps the palate clean thanks to its bright acidity.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is a simple, fruit-forward wine that ends on a bitter cherry note but that delivers spice, wild berry and raspberry along the way. You could stretch its pairing potential to include baked or fried fatty fish thanks to the linear and fresh feel the wine gives in the mouth.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is a simple red wine from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia that delivers ripe aromas of mature blackberry, prunes, plums and candied fruit. The wine is executed in a simple style—with an emphasis on the fruit and oak aging—and closes with bright berry flavors.

A tiny percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and other red grapes add density and structure to this Cannonau Riserva. The wine is also aged in oak for aromas of spice and toast that appear behind the mature fruit. Overall, it is solid and dense with ripe tannins.

Girò is an uncommon variety of red grape from Sardinia that makes this ruby-colored sweet wine. In fact, other than the three hectares of vines that belong to this estate, you probably won’t find Girò anywhere else. The wine has mature fruit aromas and enough structure to pair with chocolates.

ALREADY PUBLISHED, WINE WAS SENT TWICE. Here’s a soft and round, Merlot-like Sardinian red with plush tones of cherry, red apple, vanilla and chopped mint. It renders a dusty texture in the mouth thanks to its tannic structure and ends with a sprinkling of exotic spice.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is an awkward wine with aromas of peach, melon and honey, but it also has slightly oxidized aromas of Marsala or pinecone. The wine definitely has valid points but might prove difficult to pair with the seafood dishes Vermentino is usually designed for. Tasted both bottles with consistent notes.

Donna Jolanda is a sweet Moscato-based wine from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia with full-bodied intensity and aromas of honey, fresh apricot and cantaloupe melon. It would taste great with dried biscuits or honey-based treats.

Meloni’s Omarus (a fresh expression of Vermentino from Sardinia) is recognized by the large and delicious-looking lobster depicted on its label. A natural pairing companion to seafood, this no-fuss wine offers tonic notes of fruit and herbs and good acidity on the close.
