Rocca delle Macìe
Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend

Nice sangiovese. Aged 24 months in french oak. Just the right touch of brett on the nose to add character, without compromising the plate. Herbaceous, with a touch of fruit and almond on the nose, too. Flavors are balanced on the palate. Mouthfeel is a touch off, but it's very enjoyable. Will try to find more of this wine. Worth 28 bucks? Not so sure; won't be buying a case, just a couple.

(**) smooth, sour cherry with softened oak tannin. Med body. Grape skin aromas with a 4-5 sec finish length. A nice value at Olive Garden.

I'll just refrain from making an analogy there. Medium bodied and dry. Chocolate, spice, and herbs. Spicy finish but not quite long enough. Nothing complicated here, just some good ol Italian.

Reasonable balance between the meaning of Classico, reserva and its price.
