An earthy, Sardinian Carignane blend (w/ Bordeaux varietals). Perfect pairing for the braised short rib and polenta with which it was served.

A very big, delicious, fruity flavor, with a quick resolution. It starts off in the mouth as if it's going to be huge, but disappears quickly. It's a wine I'd describe as being both very big and quite light at the same time. It's smooth and enjoyable, very well balanced, but with a lot of unique character. A special wine.
