Clear, purple-red. Spicy, cedary oak with aromas of black cherries and dark plum fruit. Well balanced, medium to full bodied wine, ripe with flavors of plum, black cherries and dark fruit. A well structured wine that is ripe and elegant with a silky mouth-feel that lingers in a long earthy, peppery finish.

Casa Emma
Chianti Classico 2004
|
|
Our Price: $17.99

This is a very youthful, vibrant, aggressive Chianti.
Very bright, dark ruby color. Extroverted nose with lots of ripe chokecherries, licorice, earth, and fragrant wood smoke scents. Forceful, vibrant flavors -- cherries, leather, and stony minerals predominate. Bright acidity and lots of youthful tannin lend an attractive if not soft texture. A nice wine to have with Italian braised meats and stews, as well as pasta with tomato & meat sauces.

Nipozzano Riserva
Chianti Rufina 2005
|
|
Our Price: $22.99
|
|
|
The fragrances exhibit considerable complexity, opening to dark fruit such as plum and black currant. Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Riserva 2005 offer pungent spiciness with hints of clove and cinnamon. On the palate the wine shows impressive pulp, depth and fine-grained tannins that marry beautifully with its alcohol. The resulting wine is a solidly-built red that leaves a lingering, seamless, long-lasting finish.

IL Grigio
Chianti Classico Riserva 2003
|
|
Our Price: $24.99
|
|
|
Attractive ruby in color with some orange in the edges. On the nose, medium intensity, the earth hits first, dirt and chalk then some sour cherry, dried fig, anise, clove, and leather. On the palate, medium + intensity, mouth watering acidity left the impression of real juicy fruit, some smoke and dirt. I really like weight on the palate. Most experts agree that Italy makes some of the finest wines to have with food.

"Classic deep ruby color. Textbook notes of leather and tobacco, ripe cherries, strawberry jam and a touch of cocoa. The palate is lively but still quite full with great balance. A direct and honest Chianti at a great price."

Ruffino Riserva Ducale
Chianti Classico Riserva 2004
|
|
Our Price: $34.99
|
|
|
"The 2004 Riserva Ducale is characterised by particularly fragrant, fruity notes, typical of this vintage. Sweet cherries and red berry fruits meet with delicately spicy hints of cigar box and white pepper grains and elegant scents of red roses and flint. Fruity, soothing and well-balanced, the taste reveals velvety tannins and lots of fruit. The long ageing in oak enriches the fruity core with hints of cacao and cloves and the long-lingering aftertaste adds intriguing notes of rosemary and figs."
