Certified organic this is made up of a blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 15% Mourvedre. Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a dark red hue. Aromas of dark raspberries and hints of liquorice laced with fresh herbs are followed by scorched earth and spice. Light to medium weight ripe dark cherry and raspberry flavours meld into traces of red liquorice, earth and spice. Fine grained tannins.
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!
