Wine Review: This dark red colored Chianti Classico is a very good value. It opens with a cedar and black cherry bouquet with a hint of pipe tobacco. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, fresh and juicy. The flavor profile is a dried cherry and cedar blend with notes of mild triple sec and stony minerality. I also detected a hint of green olive and red licorice in the after taste. The finish is dry and its flavors, acidity, and moderate tannins drift away nicely. This wine benefits from some aeration. I then pair it with a beef brisket burrito. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our Chianti Classico is a typical, medium-bodied Chianti Classico. It has a distinguished personality and is notable for its elegance and pleasantness. Luminous ruby red. Scents of cherry, raspberry, and sweet violets. Dry on the palate, showing subtle tannins and a fresh, crisp acidity. Pair with antipasti, full-flavored first courses, and most red meats.
