2006 Perdera Isola dei Nuraghi is an awesome effort at this level. It offers spicy black pepper and jammy dark fruit on a big, powerful frame, with intense tannins that will require at least a few months of bottle age to settle down. This blend of 90% Monica and 10% Carignano and Bovale Sardo is a great introduction to the reds of Sardinia. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2012.
