• "This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti.  The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice.  It's a good dry wine with a bold flavor.  Even with it's boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth."
• My review:
• This wine packed a flavorful punch; it was very strong and very acidic.  The aftertaste was warm and spicy.  Because the acidic taste was so powerful it was difficult for me to taste specific flavors, but this wine was definitely tart and I thought I tasted cranberry or raspberry.
• I did not have this wine with food.
