Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
The 2013 is pretty intense, dark, cherry, leather. Pretty straightforward but tasty.

Leathery and minerally. Doesn't really display the fruitier notes on the nose, except for a little whiff of macerated dried cherry. Dark and intense, this is a wine for rich, fatty Italian dishes. Lots of tannin, decent acids and a bit of peppery heat on the finish. I like my CCs a bit higher toned. But this is pretty solid for the under $20 price.
UPDATE: Night 2, the wine is silkier and more fruit is showing. Upping score from 8.7 to 8.8.

Funky horse stall and cherry syrup. This vintage is very good.

Solid, fruity, though tastes more mellow than a typical Chianti.

Easy-drinking Chianti, light and tart #cherry flavors. Drink all at once, loses a lot on the second day.

2009 Vintage.. Fruit forward.. Opened i15 minutes and this medium body Chianti was a perfect compliment to grilled flap steak with tomatoes and capers. Drink now as after open an hour, it began to fade.
