Deep ruby hue. Complex and alluring aromas of blackcurrant, violets, red cherry, and cinnamon. The supple fruits are followed by mouth filling tannin that bring on earth and autumnal leaves followed by a saline crisp finish.
This is an un-fined and unfiltered wine with small amounts of sediment and no added sulphur. Please allow the bottle to stand and settle before pouring.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
