Bright n ripe and super cheap which is good since my new shirt that is making me feel sassy isn’t. It is tasty but with somewhat of a bristly edge sorta like kissing and getting your face lightly (albeit not ideally) scratched by a five o’ clock shadow. So I’d do this wine but it should shave next time.

Aroma of oak, leather, plum. Dry, high tannin, low-medium acidity. Flavor of spice/pepper.

Cherry, blackcurrant, tobacco and herbaceous notes on nose. Ripe red cherry, blackcurrant and on the finish black pepper and dried herbs. Typically acidic albeit with quite a bit of tannin, so a dryness on the finish. Rating also reflects reasonable price.

Easy drinking, not fruity. Big bite at the end. Dry.

dark raspberry & cherry aroma..Oak, Slate, &.spice. Moderately dry. quite good for $9.00. Decanted for a bit. Fruit & tannins are well balanced. 1st Chianti Ive actually enjoyed. Accompanied with red wine sausage, with sweet peppers, olives, and oregano/thyme potatoes Au Gratin (made without cream & cheese).

It’s ok, I’m not offended. You buy it, I’ll drink it. Something I’d expect at a dinner party with friends that don’t know wine.

It’s a bit of a heavy Chianti. I’ll swipe right next time.
