2014 Sella & Mosca - Marchese di Villamarina Alghero (750ml)
90 Points
"A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2014 Alghero Cabernet Riserva Marchese di Villamarina draws on fruit from one of the largest estates in Italy, planted on a flat expanse of land in the island's northwestern Nurra region. This wine historically represents one of Sardinia's premier Cabernet Sauvignons, but the fruit here feels a little under the weather in this humid vintage: The wine starts up with intensity, but ultimately does not go the distance. It shows dark fruit aromas with cassis and myrtle, followed by tobacco, smoke and licorice. This expression ages in equal parts new and neutral oak, and the results are somewhere between mid- and full-bodied, with a finish that is moderate in length. Some 40,000 bottles were made. This is a good near- to medium-term drinking option with a grilled marinated steak."
