Tasting:

She said: Very dark garnet color, it was almost opaque. The legs were numerous well space, thin and moved with a purpose. My first sniff let me know that this wine was special and I was not disappointed. I could be happy just inhaling the aroma all day. And if you like a horsey smell you will too. On the palette the wine is dry, fruity, has a full body and is chewy. The tannins tease the palette and last into a long chewy flavor filled finish. This is the kind of wine that I could sip for a whole evening with just one glass. It was fabulous with the dinner and equally good as a sipping wine. The aroma, flavor, and finish were outstanding and far beyond my expectations for an $18 wine. I enthusiastically recommend this wine, even though it is over our limit for a bargain wine. It is a great Chianti for $18. When paired with Asiago cheese the wine was to die for. A simple lunch of bread, this cheese and wine would be memorable. It is lip licking good.
