Shardana Valli di Porto Pino 2011
Santadi, Cagliari, Sardinia, ItalyFragrant, warm spiced and floral, this blend of old vine carignano (over 100 years old, some pre-phylloxera) and shiraz from the sandy, southern, wild and rugged tip of Sardinia charms with its alluring and welcoming nose. The full-bodied palate continues the dark florality along with wild blackberry, thorns, scrubby dusky plum and blackberry. The supple, silken, expansive flow is framed with tuggy leathery tannins (reflective of a year in wood), anise and warming black pepper to the drying finish. Drinking well now, especially with roasted pork or fowl.Tasted: 27 June 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $39.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
