Variety: Chianti
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
Shop Critic: 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 smelled like cranberries, quite bitter. The taste was extremely bold and very smokey like a musty basement. It had a very dry mouth feel. I drank this wine by itself with no pairings. It was the first Chianti I have ever had and it was a good first experience. I don't think I would get this particular one again but it has opened my mind and made me curious about what other Chianti's there are out there.
