Very light bready nose, candied and partly dried yellow fruit, herbaceous traces. Creamy, very sweet fruit with prominent, elegant acidity, slightly bready and nutty on the palate, slightly astringent tannins, good substance and persistence, some mineral notes in the background, very good, long finish.
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!
