From the makers of Tuscany’s legendary Sassicaia, this Carignano-Cabernet-Merlot Sardinian blend boasts sunshine within. The wine delivers warm and penetrating aromas of forest berry, Mediterranean herbs and finely etched toasted notes thanks to 15 months in oak. It’s thick and firm in the mouth with bruising tannins and a long, tasty finish.——M.L.(2/1/2008)—— 91
