Argiolas is one of Sardinia’s historic properties. The 2009 Costera is a ruby colored wine with notes of candied fruits, herbs, meat, and earth. Medium body with silky tannins and a refined old world edge. The finish is nice and chewy picking up some minty notes. Some air time definitely helps here. A blend of 90% Cannonau, 5% Carignano and 5% Bovale Sardo. (Drink 2012-2014) - JD
