---90 pt RATING---The full bouquet of sweet black cherry, pepper, and licorice is typical of the Cannonau grape. Warm and full bodied on the palate with excellent texture, ripe fruit flavors and pleasant tannins, Costera is an excellent food wine that is best enjoyed with roast beef with herbs, filet mignon, stews and sharp cheeses.
"A massive, generous wine, it literally bursts onto the palate with waves of game, earthiness, mint, spices, and herbs and bacon fat notes that swirl around the core of ripe, dark fruit. There is outstanding harmony and balance in the glass, especially at this price point. "--Wine Advocate--90 pts
