"Angular, pinched and austere on the nose, this aged dry oloroso also gives off scents of pine resin, almonds and dried stone fruits. An almost chewy palate features integrated, not overt acidity, while round, nutty flavors of almond and caramel are complex and delicious." - Wine Enthusiast
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!
